Rick Pitino ‘100 percent sold’ on Ian Jackson changing position to fill St. John’s biggest need

Rick Pitino believes he found his next point guard Monday.

Ian Jackson, the latest high-profile transfer to commit to St. John’s, is going to be the guy.

“I think he’s a natural point guard like Kadary [Richmond] or [former St. John’s point guard] Daniss Jenkins,” the Hall of Fame coach told The Post hours after the North Carolina star picked St. John’s over USC, Georgia, Illinois and a host of others. “Daniss, when he first started out [with me at Iona University], really wasn’t a point guard and when he left he epitomized what a point guard should be. I think it’s the same thing with Ian. That’s his position.

“He has great vision, he sees the floor really well, he has a great handle, great size for a guard. He’s explosive. I think he’s much more of a one than a two or a three.”
