Beat writer Darnell Mayberry "can't wait" to see Reggie Jackson next season.
Jackson, the No. 24 overall pick in 2011, is gaining invaluable experience as a starting point guard in the playoffs. In the eight games since Russell Westbrook's injury, he's averaging 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Jackson's first shot at unrestricted free agency will likely come in 2016.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson played 48 minutes in Monday's overtime loss to the Grizzlies and had 15 points, four boards, eight assists, one block, one 3-pointer and four turnovers.

Besides making some bad decisions, Jackson had a solid outing against some stiff competition in Mike Conley. He's obviously no Russell Westbrook, but Jackson has been a pleasant surprise in these playoffs. The Thunder have been using Jackson along with Derek Fisher (three points, two boards and one 3-pointer in 26 minutes) in the backcourt a lot and they've been burned quite a bit because of it. They'll look to stay alive at home on Wednesday.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson came up big on Saturday with 16 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and only one turnover, but it wasn't enough to win Game 3 in Memphis.

The Thunder's one-dimensional offense sputtered vs. the Grizzlies' defense, shooting just 36.4 percent from the field with 10 assists on 32 field goals. Jackson also made a glaring error when he unnecessarily fouled Mike Conley to expand the Grizzlies' lead with under one minute remaining. As much as this loss stings, OKC fans should still be encouraged by Jackson's play in Russell Westbrook's absence.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson says Russell Westbrook (knee) is constantly on him about playing "pedal to the metal."

Jackson jokingly called the injured All-Star "Coach Westbrook" on Friday when talking about Westbrook's new role with the team since undergoing season-ending surgery. After a stellar effort in Game 6 of the Thunder's opening-round series, Jackson has been inconsistent offensively in two games against Memphis. Jackson is a huge part of OKC's secondary scoring behind Kevin Durant, but there's a big difference between going up against Houston's backcourt and trying to score on Mike Conley and Tony Allen. We'll see Saturday if Westbrook's lessons have taught Jackson anything.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson's teammates raved about the young guard's performance in Friday's Game 6 clinching victory.

Jackson flirted with triple-double territory, scoring 17 points to go along with eight assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one 3-pointer. Jackson has played pretty well since taking over for Russell Westbrook (knee surgery) as the Thunder's starting point guard. Although he started off in a platoon with Derek Fisher, Jackson has played 32 minutes or more in each of the last three games. As a starter this postseason, Jackson is averaging 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 3-pointers per game.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson started at point guard in Saturday's 104-101 win in Houston and had 14 points, two boards, one assist, two 3-pointers and three turnovers in 25 minutes.

He was in a timeshare with Derek Fisher, which was a bit of a head-scratching move by Scott Brooks. While Fisher does have a proven track record to hit shots, having a player like Kevin Durant makes Fisher's presence on O a little less needed. Patrick Beverley turned Fisher into a human turnstile in the fourth quarter and the Rockets ran a lot of plays to Fisher's side of the court. Scott Brooks has an odd obsession for Fisher for the past two seasons and fortunately his team was able to pull out a win, but they might not be so lucky against guys like Mike Conley or Chris Paul in the second round.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

The Thunder will start Reggie Jackson at point guard in place of the injured Russell Westbrook.

There had been some thought that coach Scott Brooks would opt to start Derek Fisher in order to keep Jackson's key bench role intact. However, Brooks opted to start the overachieving guard instead. Jackson is an intriguing prospect whose surprising progress facilitated the trade of Eric Maynor to Portland earlier this season. Jackson averaged 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game when he played between 20 and 29 minutes this season. He also managed a career night in the Thunder's regular-season finale, scoring 22 points to go with six rebounds and five assists as OKC rested most of their starters.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson hit 8-of-17 shots for a career-high 22 points, six rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's loss to the Bucks.

The Thunder gave the starters the night off (for the most part) and Jackson took advantage of the opportunity. If you picked him up and played him for the finale, congratulations are in order.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson played 28 minutes off the bench on Friday, scoring 17 points with four boards, two assists, one steal, one block and one 3-pointer vs. Portland on Friday.

He took over most of the playing time for the injured Kevin Martin (back) and Jackson has been overachieving all year. He's proven to be a worthy backup point guard, but he's not likely to get his chance to shine with the durability of Russell Westbrook -- who had 33 points, three steals, one block and two 3-pointers tonight.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Scott Brooks said Reggie Jackson "still has a lot of things that he will continue to get better at" when asked about his playing time.

Jackson's playing inconsistent minutes while veteran Derek Fisher has become a regular in the rotation. Brooks is one of the most staunch coaches in the league when it comes to his rotation and unwillingness to change things up, so we're not expecting to see much more of Jackson in the near future.

Reggie Jackson - G - Thunder

Reggie Jackson had a career-high 14 points to go along with three assists and two 3-pointers off the bench on Wednesday.

Don't get too excited, as the score was lopsided and he saw some premium garbage time. However, owners in deep leagues might want to take notice that he's having his best month as a pro, and was averaging nearly seven points, three assists and a 3-pointer per game in the month of February coming into this one.

Scott Brooks says Reggie Jackson will be the backup PG going forward, but added "it's not in cement."

Looks like Brooks will give Jackson the time to lay permanent claim to the job once held by Eric Maynor, while also allowing himself leeway to give Maynor another shot. Regardless, the fantasy impact of this switch is minimal, at best.

Reggie Jackson played ahead of Eric Maynor on Tuesday, an indication that Jackson is now the primary backup PG to Russell Westbrook.

According to beat writer Darnell Mayberry, "not even Jackson knows" if he's the backup to Westbrook. Maynor has been underwhelming this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if the move sticks.

The Thunder recalled Reggie Jackson, DeAndre Liggins and Perry Jones III from the Tulsa 66ers on Sunday.

OKC's young guys will continue to bounce between the NBA and the D-League, as the single-affiliate model allows the Thunder greater control of their development with the 66ers.

The Thunder have sent Reggie Jackson back to the D-League.

After some time with the big league club, it's back to Tulsa for Jackson. Expect to see him shuffle back and forth multiple times before this season is done.
