Rickea Jackson speaks on learning from veterans

Rickea Jackson appears to be making the most of her time in the 3x3 Unrivaled league during the WNBA offseason. She’s part of a roster that includes veteran leaders like Breanna Stewart and Courtney Vandersloot. After Mist BC's 88-62 win over Phantom BC, Jackson shared how she's developing her game by learning from these proven winners.

"To be on this team and have vets from different teams...to have them it's helped so much," Jackson said. "They all are different in their own ways...Stewie is always telling me what spots to get to.
"Sloot is always pushing me...she's like my mom...she doesn't let me lack at anything. "Rickea come shoot!" Each and everyone of them instills something different in me."

Jackson will be back in action next on Saturday when Mist BC faces off against Laces BC. The LA Sparks forward will look to bounce back from her ejection by delivering a strong performance in the upcoming game.
