Women's Basketball Hall of Fame

Darnell Edred Jackson (born November 7, 1985) is an American former professional basketball player, who is currently an assistant coach for the San Diego Clippers of the NBA G League and plays in the Big 3 League for the Detroit Amplifiers. He played college basketball for the University of Kansas for four seasons, including the 2008 national championship team. He did not become a regular starter at Kansas until the 2007–08 season (his senior year), when he replaced Sasha Kaun in the starting lineup.

High school career

[edit | edit source]

Jackson began playing organized basketball for the first time as a ninth grader at Midwest City High School.[1]

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Jackson was listed as the No. 12 power forward and the No. 54 player in the nation in 2004.[2]

College career

[edit | edit source]

He was called one of the most improved players in the nation after averaging 6.7 rebounds during his senior season at Kansas in 2007–08.[3] He attracted some attention from NBA scouts after several breakout performances, including a 25-point, 9-rebound effort against Boston College. After this performance, he was named the co-winner of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Player of the Week.[4]

In 2005, Jackson's sophomore year, Jackson was suspended for nine games for accepting payments from Kansas booster Don Davis, a family friend.[5] This was part of a rough year for him, as his grandmother had been killed by a drunk driver earlier in 2005. After scoring, Jackson often thumped his chest three times. Symbolically, one of the thumps was for Jackson's grandmother, one was for his mother, and one was for Davis.[6]

He played a big role in the Jayhawks' 2008 championship season, leading the team in rebounds and shooting percentage.

Professional career

Jackson was selected as the 52nd overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft by the Miami Heat on June 26. He was traded to the Cavaliers on the same day.
