He can shoot it from the beyond the three-point consistently. He has a good handle with the ball in his hands. "I think the biggest parts of my game are shooting and being poised when I am pressured.

Playing with Team South Carolina, Jackson will face some of the best guards in the country every weekend. "My goals for the rest of the summer are to get more offers and get my name out there a little more. I want to also improve my explosiveness," he said.

Jackson had this to say about his improvement since last season, "I think the biggest key to my improvement has been my work ethic and the time I have put into getting better. Another key is how humble I am, also going through some things that will make me be a better person and a better basketball player."
