Casey played at Glendora High School, and he was a McDonald's All-American. After that, he attended Stanford University, where he scored a career high of 49 points against Arizona State University on January 31, 2002. He was a First Team All-American his sophomore year and a Second Team All-American his junior year. Casey was also a three-time All-Pac 10 selection. In his three years in college with Stanford, he finished #3 in points scored (1,723), #6 in points per game (18.1), #2 in 3-point goals (222), and #4 in 3 point percentage (.427).
[edit] Professional career
After his career at Stanford University, Jacobsen was the 22nd overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, selected by the Phoenix Suns. He was later traded to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Jim Jackson. Jacobsen has averaged 5.9 points per game through his career and is known as a player with exceptional range on his shot, out to beyond the NBA three-point line. His usual positions are shooting guard and small forward.
After playing for TAU Vitoria of the Spanish ACB League during the 2005-06 season, he signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Houston Rockets, and played in four preseason games with them, but was released before the 2006-07 season began. Jacobsen then moved to the Brose Baskets (Bamberg, Germany) of the German League, where he won the German Basketball Championship in 2007, and he also earned the Finals MVP Award.
Jacobsen was signed by the Memphis Grizzlies on July 24, 2007 and he spent the 2007-08 season with them.[2][3]
On July 1, 2008, the Grizzlies chose not to offer Jacobsen a new contract, making him an unrestricted free agent.[4] In August 2008, he signed with the German League club ALBA Berlin.[5]
In June 2009 Jacobsen signed a new contract with his former team Brose Baskets Bamberg in Germany. He led his team to win both the German Cup (Pokalsieger) [6] and German Championship [7] in 2010 and was again named Finals MVP.[8]
Jacobsen re-signed with Brose Baskets Bamberg in August 2010 for the 2010-2011 season.[9] The team again won the German Cup in April 2011.[10] At game five of the finals he announced that he extended his contract for three more years.
