The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard Cedric Jackson from the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League, Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry announced today. The signing of Jackson marks the ninth GATORADE Call-Up of the 2009-10 D-League season. Jackson will wear No. 9 for the Cavaliers.

During 10 games during the month of January with Erie, he increased his averages to 21.5 points on .407 shooting, 4.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.4 steals in 35.0 minutes per game and led the BayHawks to a 6-4 record, including a four-game winning streak from Jan. 10-17. The point guard posted game highs of 34 points on 9-21 (.429) shooting and 13 assists in his most recent game with the BayHawks on Jan. 19^th versus the Austin Toros. In his 14 starts this season, he is averaging 16.5 points on .369 shooting, 4.7 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.8 steals in 35.4 minutes per game and in 23 games (14 starts) overall, Jackson has averaged 14.7 points on .397 shooting, 4.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 31.3 minutes per game.

As a senior at Cleveland State in 2009, the 6-foot-3, 190-pounder was named 2009 Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year and to the All-Horizon League Second Team for the second consecutive season. In two seasons with the Vikings, he had career averages of 12.3 points on .405 shooting, 5.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.8 steals in 32.2 minutes per game. He is only the second Cleveland State alumnus (Darren Tillis, 1982-83) to ever play for the Cavaliers.

nice numbers, but how much actual PT will he see unless Boobie falls flat?…it will be the typical “bring the ball across the line and pass to LeBron” play…which IS effective, but we have guys doing that already….IF he can get open, he might be a threat to score…guess we’ll see

I'll be interested to see what the rotations are tonight

For the guards, if nothing changes in the front court, we’d have:

Boobie
AP
Jawad
Danny Green
Cedric Jackson

How Mike Brown adjusts his rotations will tell a lot about how much confidence he has in each player. I’d imagine Jawad gets big minutes to match up against Durant.

Still looking for 1985 Regular Season games on DVD/VHS

Including tonight, they have a relatively “soft” schedule in that there are only two road games (MIA & IND) and no back to backs leading up to the all star game, which means some time to practice, plus Jamario will be back in about 5-7 days tops…tonight, MEM on groundhog day (let’s hope that doesn’t play like the movie) and ORL on the 11th are the games in this stretch that they have to be on top of their respective games….the other home games (NYK, NJN, LAC, MIN, MIA) HAVE to be wins if they expect to be taken seriously as contenders
