Because they are similar players. Both are ball dominant guys. Jackson has the higher upside, which was my original point. Davis coming back for year 5 hurt Jackson. Jackson is taller and is more efficient with his volume of shots. When RJ is in people just stand around as they know he’s going to chuck more often than pass.
RJ Davis coming back wasn’t a good idea

You play both. RJ is our best player and Jackson could become the 2nd best or best. Look at last season, people didn't just stand around when RJ ran the point with Trimble at the 2 for large stretches. Plus, you don't have to rely on a traditional pg situation when you have 3 guards on the court, RJ, Jackson and Trimble, and Cadeau if not starting would still get a lot ot pt.
I get our bigs are not as skilled as we would like. At the end of the day we will never get a big to commit again if your idea of running a play for them is a pick and roll. I can only recall one time this year that we threw the ball in the post. (Lubin spun baseline and dunked it.) I still believe Washington has something to offer this team, but it won’t be catching the ball rolling to the basket.
Now to the point Ian got us back in the game and Rj damn near gave it away. Rj coming back took valuable NIL money which could’ve been spent on a big. I still hold out hope that we will get see 5 straight minutes of EC, IJ, DP, Withers, and wash.
