Highlights

Josiah is among the list of the top unsigned senior’s left in Texas. He is an elite finisher at the rim for his size, with great control of the basketball and his body to absorb and avoid contact. His scrappiness on the interior is also evident on the defensive end of the court where he looks to take the best offensive matchup and does so with aggressiveness and picking up full court. His ability to go coast to coast allows him to find success every time he gets a deflection or his teammate gets a steal.

He is also a true point guard, throwing picture perfect passes up the court to his streaking teammates. He constantly makes the right read with the ball in his hands. Jackson is always looking to push the break and find his teammates for an open look when the defense begins to collapse around him. In the last year he has really developed his point guard skills, but has natural skills off the ball by slipping behind his defender and moving without the basketball.
