"I don't think enough can be written about the credit that she deserves on the growth of her game in a very short period," Miller said before the Sparks played the Liberty. He emphasized how remarkable her improvement has been, showcasing a significant transformation within just one season. Coaches often note such growth is usually observed over multiple years, outlining how Jackson's progression has defied expectations in the competitive environment of the WNBA. He praised her work ethic and adaptability on the court, drawing attention to her dedication to her development as a player.
Despite being the No. 4 pick, Jackson wasn't getting anywhere near the media attention of her peers, which predominantly went to the No. 1 selection, Caitlin Clark, and the No. 6 pick, Angel Reese. Even on her own team, Cameron Brink, selected at No. 2, took the spotlight during training camp. Yet, Jackson has worked in the shadows, patiently waiting for her opportunity to shine, and now she's seized it, proving to everyone she belongs among the best rookies in the league.
