Duke's Frank Jackson: Scores 12 off bench

Jackson tallied 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), in addition to three rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Saturday's victory over Wake Forest.

Analysis:

The freshman point guard has been called upon off of the bench lately as the Blue Devils have elected to go with three shooting guards in their starting five. Surrounded by scoring threats, Jackson has struggled to make a significant impact, averaging 9.9 points in 23.3 minutes of action. Though relegation to the bench is never a positive, coach Mike Krzyzewski will be looking for Jackson to provide both a spark, and log significant minutes if veterans Grayson Allen and Matt Jones require rest or get into foul trouble.
