Justin Jackson – (Toronto, Ont.) – Findlay Prep / YAAACE Elite – 2016
Height: 6’7″
Position: Small Forward
OTRHoopsReport.com Eval Grade: 5 star
Committed College: UNLV

1/17/15- Hoop Hall Classic (Springfield, Mass.) – Jonathan Hemingway

Jackson likes playing in the back court. He was the back up PG when Thornton went out of the game and handled the ball good percentage of the game. He is a very good passer and will drive and pull up in the midrange. I question how effective he will be long term in this position. He scored 8 points on 6 shots with 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

6/20/14 – NBPA Top 100 Camp (Charlottesville, Va.) – Brandon Clay

Jackson is a bigger wing player at the position. He finished well with his right hand in traffic. He also finished with his left with the bump too. Jackson is strong and even hit a couple of jump shots as well.

6/18/14 – NBPA Top 100 Camp (Charlottesville, Va.) – Jonathan Hemingway

Jackson had his full repertoire on display this weekend. As a big wing, impressively he used the ball screen and attack the rim. But he also showed the finesse to pull-up in the mid-range while also spotting up to hit the corner 3. He even showed the footwork to create space off of the drive with jab steps while defenders hand checked him.

Jackson is a lengthy athlete who provides athleticism inside and outside. He appears to be a versatile defender, however he just showed to be a complimentary offensive player today. This is to be expected while he plays alongside the likes of Kelly Oubre and Rashad Vaughn.
