Jackson, a Canadian,  was injured roughly 300 minutes into his sophomore season. He had surgery on a torn labrum in his right shoulder in December 2017. Jackson averaged 10.5 points and 6 rebounds per game as a freshman. He shot 38.6% from beyond the college arc (career), and he was 72.8% FT (career). He made 82% FT in 2017-18 but the sample size was small. …We see some folks have him as a small forward. He can guard SF's but on offense his decision making is sketchy. We think he is an undersized FOUR. ...He can be a difference maker on defense. Maryland was 7.7 points per 100 possessions better with Jackson on the floor. ...Jackson is likely a mid-second round pick. We think he just doesn't stand out.

 

Good Advice: In 2012, the 36th pick in the NBA Draft was Orlando Johnson. We advised, "Draft Will Barton."
