Committed College: Michigan State
Star Grade:
By: @JLHemingwayPSB & @BrandonClayPSB
Date: May 29, 2016
Evaluator: Jonathan Hemingway
Location: Nike Boys EYBL Session IV (Atlanta, Ga.)
Jackson turned in a very productive EYBL circuit series averaging 17 points per game while also making 28 threes while shooting 44% while doing it. He was not as effective at Peach Jam (11 points, 23% from 3). But he is a versatile big man who uses length to rebound and finish on the interior. He is also good in the pick and pop game where he can mix up jumpers with attacking off the bounce. His 7 rebounds and 2 block shots per game are evidence of his true inside-out presence.
