Suiting up with the Cascade Kings , Jackson had his shot on lock down from the perimeter. Whether is was spotting up, waiting for the kickout, and hitting the catch-and-shoot jumper or using the dribble to create space on his own, the rising junior fit right in with his new team at the Super 24. A creative ball-handler and passer, he also made some good decisions pushing the ball up the floor and finding open teammates for scores.

There’s no question that Jackson is a proven bucket-getter. The rising Jefferson junior shoots it with range and easily creates his own shot off the dribble. But where he impressed us in helping the Oregon Hoopers to a win on Sunday was with his passing and decision making. Jackson regularly looked to set up teammates in both the halfcourt and transiton settings, making clean passes for easy buckets. He balanced it well with his own scoring, finishing with 10 points and 5 assists.

The talented sophomore point guard will be asked to carry a heavy load if the Demos are going to shock the world & upset Tualatin. Jackson, has shown the ability to score, but is at his best when he’s breaking down defenses & getting his teammates involved.

Jackson played with explosiveness and shiftiness as a ball-dominant guard, constantly keeping defenders off balance. He scored in a variety of ways and proved to be a reliable bucket-getter throughout the event, ranking as one of the day’s top scorers. He’s do-it-all guard who thrives when given the green light to create. (JN)
