Very light Simmons. Simmons can score. Besides entry passing, clear path dunks and pushing pace a little Jackson doesn’t give us much on offense. But man is he good at grabbing rebounds.He’s like UConn’s Ben Simmons light. But he’s got to play a tighter game with ball and passes.
His line was kind of wild today. 2/3 for 5 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 5 turnoversNot talked about enough. Another absurd 14 rebound performance on the defensive boards. The best defensive rebounding guard/wing to ever put on a UConn uniform?

Odd stat lines is the norm for Jackson. He’s just like a freak athlete that we kind of throw out there and roll the dice with. He was draining NBA 3s against Butler. It’s like a surprise with him you know what you’re going to get, aside from a bunch of defensive boards.His line was kind of wild today. 2/3 for 5 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 5 turnovers
He WILL be very special next season, all you have to do is look at his shooting stats from last year regarding 3’s and FT’s to this year . The improvement was absolutely amazing from one year to the next.He could be very special next season
Hes also a deadzone on offense. How many times does he have a chance to go to the basket for two and possibly a foul and he makes a wild pass which gets turned over or gets to the open guy only to miss the shot or not be ready for the pass. He has absolutley no touch around the basket.He’s like UConn’s Ben Simmons light. But he’s got to play a tighter game with ball and passes.
Instead of going in for a layup he’ll release a floater 4 ft out.Hes also a deadzone on offense.

Has has to look to the hoop. With his passing. Dribbling and athleticism. How does he only get 3 shots?
He has to attack the basket more and get more shots up.
Hopefully you are not complimenting him on his passing. Yesterday's game he had to have three turnovers passing the ball. It seems that he and Sonogo just can't get it right. His pass is either high or at Sonogo's feet. He a more than a couple turnovers.Has has to look to the hoop. With his passing. Dribbling and athleticism. How does he only get 3 shots?

Agreed. I remember that play and start screaming at the TV. Easiest 2 pointer I ever saw.Great rebounder for his size no doubt. His inability to understand he needs to slow down at times after almost 2 years is scary. Also yesterday 2 times it was incredible he didn’t go to the hole when receiving passes. On the left side first half he got a pass and had the baseline all to himself as the defender was overplaying his right, he threw it back out. 2nd half 8 ft from the hoop left side he elected to never turn and look at the basket for a dunk or lay in but instead threw it to RJ in the deep corner. He needs to go to the basket to be an impact on offense and try to dunk everything not those throws. Also that runner (throw) needs dramatic improvement for him to be “great” like many of you say.
His rebounding is really good, his 3 point shooting is better and there’s such a ceiling but many things have to get better especially taking care of the ball.
He is a terrific passer and vision. He didn’t execute on Sunday. Most of it is because he tries to be too quick. Just needs to learn ball control and patience.Hopefully you are not complimenting him on his passing. Yesterday's game he had to have three turnovers passing the ball.

He’s easily the best passer in the team though. Probably the only one on the team where passing is a real strength.
He’s fun to watch except when he shoots which is kind of a big exception. He sure could’ve been an amazing high jumper.Odd stat lines is the norm for Jackson.
