Write Up
Jackson is one of the more interesting players in this draft, he came into Kansas as one of the top recruits out of high school and has lived up to the hype. He has a good frame that will fill out as he matures, his length is on the smaller end, but still solid, and he is a good athlete. He is thriving playing the point forward and high post roles for Kansas and is a constant mismatch for defenses (there are not many things he can't do). He specializes in making the small plays that help win games and his motor and BBIQ are some of the highest in this draft. His main weakness is his shooting ability, his shot mechanics will definitely need some work in the pros, but he does show some potential for improvement. Jackson has all the tools to become a star role player for any team in the NBA and should be a top 5 pick in the draft.
