Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle on Quenton Jackson receiving a standard contract: "It's great, he's really earned it. It's been a long road to this point but, I heard this recently and I said this to him today, I said 'The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next', and he's got to keep that in mind. This is really just the beginning. He's a young guy, he's got a young career and he's got to keep the edge, he's got to keep working."
