Ian Jackson

Draft Notes

Jackson is a high-flying athlete who is one of the best leapers, dunkers and overall athletes in his class. He’s a menace in the open court, flies up and down the floor and finishes with the best of them.

He’s a capable ball handler who can break his man down with the dribble, but has more work to do in tightening up his handles. Can take it into the lane with either hand and is a good finisher in traffic.

Shows promise as a 3pt shooter and has developed some nice step-back moves to get into his jumper.

Jackson is a high energy player who impacts the game even when he’s not scoring the ball. He’s a standout defender, a great. transition player and brings great enthusiasm to the court.
