Drives with the purpose to set up teammates with good accurate passing to open shooters along the perimeter. Has flair in transition with speed and vision to set up teammates, or find the gaps to score himself. A plus shooter, with range off the dribble that is comfortable a few feet beyond on the arc. Really thrives in the up and down nature of summer ball. Looks to have grown a couple inches, should be ready for a bigger role this winter for Classen SAS. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1391434"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66905127013e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Do it all guard with unreal defensive instincts. Plays fast and hard but is never in a hurry or out of control. He doesn't have the suddenness of some high flyers, but still has great elevation which is evident in his finishes at the rim. And allows him to block a variety of shots, transition chase downs, flying out to block jump shooters, etc. Quick hands and active long arms also led to deflections and steals. Offensively he can fit in as an off the ball scorer, especially as a shooter. But is an unselfish player who often makes the right pass and can do some damage off the dribble. Hard to pinpoint a true hole in his game, should be a no brainer for regional small college programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140723"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669051270142e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The bouncy prospect is starting to fully turn into a scoring guard/wing. Has flashes of next level explosiveness and movement when attacking the rim, indicating once he finishes growing and physical matures he should be an above the rim player. Is headed out of state to the Overtime league with PHH Prep National. Was playing with 15U Team Tnereffid this past week and was one of many prospects with a bright future. Continuing to improve his jumper would give him a "3 and D" floor but has the potential to turn into an all around scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2488667,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jamari Jackson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66905127014d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Physical, long arm bully guard who plays much bigger than his size. Strongly explodes around the rim for dunks, rebounds and blocks. His form on free throws looked solid, giving a base for him to turn into a better shooter with time in the gym and the right college developmental staff. The motor that comes with his physical gifts give him a chance to be a "where did he come from???" type college producer in a few years. For names from the past that similarly checked the athletic boxes but developed their perimeter games at the next level, Jackson has similarities to Carlbe Ervin (Connors-Kansas State) and DaQuan Jeffries (ORU-Western Texas-Tulsa-NBA). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1514114"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2488668,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6690512701530"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big man with a skilled game. Good passer who can operate out of the high post and even make tight window passes around the rim. Showed mid-range and even three point range. Must've grew up watching Dirk highlights with one of the one legged middies he hit. Effort seems to be there on defense, when it comes to rotating and competing. Solid long speed when running the floor but currently has stiffer hips. The right college will trim up the big framed forward and turn him into an interesting offensive chess piece.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
