Desmar Jackson was a two-way Saluki engine: scoring punch, steals, and all-around impact
In the 2013-14 season, Desmar Jackson was a do-everything Southern Illinois guard who ranked second in the MVC in scoring at 18.6 points per game and 14th nationally in steals at 2.42 per game, while becoming the first Saluki ever to lead the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and free throws.[1] His value went beyond box scores: he brought shot creation, pressure defense, late-game shot-making, and a knack for big moments, including a game-winner against Northern Iowa.[1][13] If you want a guard who can score, disrupt, and set a tone, that’s his calling card.[1]
