The Bucks’ record may not be where they want it right now, but Kudera continues to show he is a tough, reliable presence. He is a well-rounded player who brings versatility and defensive toughness every time he steps on the floor. On the offensive end, Jackson has been heating up, averaging 17.4 points per game over the last five contests. He is a capable three-point shooter with a smooth, confident stroke, and he rebounds exceptionally well for a 2 or 3 guard. Kudera impacts the game in multiple ways and remains a steady force for the Bucks.

Kudera turned heads at the Prep Hoops Soph ID Camp, showcasing a well-rounded and polished game. He moves with purpose, makes sharp cuts, and knows how to finish strong at the rim while also knocking down triples with confidence. He’s a good passer who keeps teammates involved, and in transition, he plays smoothly and efficiently. On defense, Jackson forces turnovers with his activity and awareness. Add in his quality ball skills and a jump shot that’s both accurate and reliable, and it’s clear Kudera is a Yankton baller to keep close tabs on.

Read EvaluationSpencer Christenson | Prep Hoops Scout
Jackson had a breakout Freshman season, in which he continually ascended with Yankton’s program throughout the year, eventually becoming a AA varsity player for Yankton. He’s up to 6’1” and his arms are lengthy for his height. He uses his long arms to defend, keep his matchup in front of him, and contest shooters on the perimeter. Offensively, he likes to work off the ball, stay on the move to try and free himself up for his quick-trigger three. He could easily find himself on the AA breakout candidates article before the season, as I see him potentially being a breakout scorer.

Kudera is showing to be a major shooting and scoring threat for Yankton’s Sophomore team. He’s firing away accurate jumpers from all over the court. He’s able to create space with his dribble moves and has no problem getting his shot off. His handle looks good and he’s able to maneuver through traffic and bodies.
