She was drafted with the fourth overall pick of last year\u2019s draft. Jackson made 40 appearances in her first season, recording 13.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Her solid performances saw her named to the 2024 All-Rookie team.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson even outperformed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/wnba\/cameron-brink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Cameron Brink<\/a>, who was drafted two spots ahead of her with the second pick. To be fair, Brink tore her ACL just halfway through the season and couldn\u2019t quite adjust to the league. She recorded averages of 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks during her first year.<\/p>\n<p>This season, the Sparks have added many promising players to their young core of Jackson and Brink.

He is currently pursuing a BSc degree from BITS, but his love for video games pushed him to pursue a gaming journalism career. He relies on diligent research and fact-checking to deliver top-notch content. He has previously worked in the hospitality sector with the Oberoi Group.<\/p>\n<p>Sameer\u2019s gaming journey began with Rockstar Games\u2019 GTA franchise, specifically <br \/>Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. He strongly prefers multiplayer games, with FPS being his favorite genre, and has devoted 6K+ hours to CS:GO! However, he also dabbles in open-world, story-based games from time to time. Solo RPGs like Horizon Forbidden West hold a soft spot in his heart, and he would readily drop in it given a Jumanji-type scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Sameer makes sure to follow Counter-Strike and Valorant esports tournaments, as he believes that watching a game being played at the highest level can be highly educational. He derives inspiration from Tarik&#8217;s meteoric rise to become one of the biggest FPS streamers in the world following the release of Valorant.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of work, you can find Sameer playing football or cheering for FC Barcelona. He also likes to read and write poetry.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/sameer-khan-d558b\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Nadim El Kak<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/wnba\/news-rickea-jackson-serves-whip-appeal-massive-50-inch-buss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] LA Sparks forward Rickea Jackson served a whip appeal with her massive 50-inch \u201cbuss down\u201d hair.
