How are you? I'm David Lock, Radio Voice of the Utah Jazz on today's show.

Jaron Jackson, Jr. is one of the wildly, most inconsistent, offensive players in the NBA over the last eight years. We're going to try to dig in why. We're going to look at the

history of good and bad. We're going to look at those years. We've got two years where he's

been three years where he's been good, two years where he's been All-Stars, two years we've been

bad. Offensively. Defensively is always pretty good. But why? What's going on? How do we use

him? What can Will Hardy do? How do we make Jaron Jackson, Jr., an offensive force

for the Utah Jazz this year, or at least well above average, unlike his

poor seasons. That is the topic today. We'll walk down it. We're going to start with the history

of it. Then we're going to look at his good seasons versus bad seasons. Then we're going to look at

what ways he's been used and how we can use him and maybe come up with some sort of answer

to this question. Maybe not. All right, let me give you the background in this.

So let's start with the locked on metric of points gained.

Points gained is our exclusive offensive metric that ranks how a player does in the

possessions he uses on a given night compared to league average.

Okay, this is, if you're never heard of this before, then you're new to locked on.
