Strengths:
Very good overall athlete with a quick first step and good leaping ability. His size and toughness help him to draw fouls and finish in the lane over bigger defenders. Does most of his scoring damage as a mid-range jump shooter and shoots a solid percentage from the free throw line. He isn’t the ideal type of point guard for running an offense, but does take very good care of the ball. On defense, he’ll get up into his man and apply pressure for 94 feet. His quickness helps him to shoot into passing lanes for steals. Jackson’s an impressive rebounder for his size, he pulled down just over 6 boards a game last season.
Weaknesses:
At already 24 years old, Jackson may not have much more room to develop. He isn’t a pure playmaking PG; he brings more of a scorer’s mentality to the position. If he can’t stick at point guard, he may have difficulties sticking at shooting guard due to his size. Jackson’s not a threat as a three-point shooter right now, he averaged less than one make a game and only shot 32% from beyond the arc.
