NBL EXPERIENCE
Daniel Jackson made his NBL debut with the Wollongong Hawks at 19 years of age. He scored eight points in his first game.
During his time with the Hawks Jackson helped the team reach the Grand Final after they finished in second place (16-12) during the 2009/10 season. The Hawks eliminated the third placed Townsville Crocodiles with Jackson playing minimal court time. He played in the first two games against the Crocodiles and scored a total of one point in the three game series. The Hawks then advanced to the NBL finals series to face the Perth Wildcats where Perth claimed game one at home, 75–64. The series then moved to Wollongong for game two, where the Hawks returned the favour, defeating Perth 75–63 and setting up a deciding Game 3. Back on their home court Perth comfortably defeated Wollongong in the decider, 96–72, with Jackson playing a total of three minutes in the series and Perth’s Kevin Lisch being named Finals MVP.
Daniel Jackson played six seasons the Wollongong Hawks. He averaged 1.3 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.2 assists in 120 NBL games.
