Jackson is an explosive athlete with a really nice feel for the game. Unfortunately, he is a low percentage shooter from deep. Jackson averaged 6.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game for the National Champions. He shot just 28.1% from three-point range, and an equally below average 64.6% FT. Right handed. What Jackson does best is set up his teammates. He had a 2.38-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Beyond that, he is a great transition finisher and lob catcher with great speed. His max vert was 39.5" at the 2023 NBA Draft Combine. Defensively, Jackson's presence is felt. He disrupts passing lanes, and he slides his feet well. His wingspan is 6'9.75". We believe Jackson will be taken early in round two. Because of his limited shooting ability, we see him as a deep bench guy in the NBA which is a shame because he is so much fun to watch play.   

 

Our best advice: in 2010, the 17th pick was Kevin Seraphin. We advised, "draft Hassan Whiteside."
