A versatile wing with a lot of favorable ratings, Jackson may not possess any elite skills, but is above-average at most everything. His motor jumps off the page, he’s an elite offensive rebounder for a 6’8’’ wing and is extremely assertive when he’s on the hunt for a loose ball or rebound. He is strong and can finish through contact. He’s not the type of defender that merely hinders his opponents ability to score, he’s deadly in the passing lanes, and is aggressive trying to steal the ball and deflecting passes. This results in a lot of fast breaks, and easy transition buckets. His shot blocking ability is also very impressive for a wing. However, the one area where he struggles is his shooting, from range or the FT line. He hit on 28% of 3s from the college line, so that would likely dip on the longer TMBSL line with better defenders. He also shot 54% from the free throw line at Kansas, where the line is 15', just like in TMBSL... so yikes. But, he has a blue collar work ethic and willingness to do the dirty work, does not exhibit the prima donna attitude often associated with elite level prospects. He's an extremely competitive and passionate kid who brings a high level of intensity and desire to improve, which could mean his ceiling is higher than other comparable prospects.
