North Carolina guard Ian Jackson has struggled over the last seven games with the Tar Heels winning just twice
Why the Sudden Swoon in Jackson's Production?

I posted this earlier today from another thread:
The reason Ian is struggling goes back to when he broke in with that string of 20pt games. Recall what got him off, he was moving his darn feet and allowing switching to get him a match up out front against a big man, he drove that big man. He started mixing in some step back jumpers because teams saw he was driving on film, so the step back set up his continued driving. Teams realized, best not let Ian get the matching up in space against a big so their guards started switching to him and not allowing their bigs to. So, riding a hot streak, Ian rather than drive against the quickness of the guards began to settle for deep trey jumpers, hit them for a game or 2 but the law of averages set in and now he can buy a bucket.
This is, we really didn't set anything up for Ian, it was him getting the match up he wanted and exploiting it. But team adjusted from his film, I would like to see us run some of that BHO zoom stuff for Ian, he has the length that RJ doesn't but he has to look for the pass more and not be single minded to the rim or bust. Note to Ian, that amazing cross over and first step works so much better against big men than it does guards.
