He doesnt usually create much for his teammates, even though he has really good awareness both on offense and defense. Able to create his own shot or spot up on the catch and shoot, he has a really nice rhythm on his jumper with great lift. However his game lives and dies with his jump shot. Hes also a pretty reliable ball-handler who can slash to the basket. Jackson has quite a strong frame, enjoys good athleticism and decent quickness. Overall he obtained excellent percentages (57% 2FGs, 46% 3FGs and 87% FTs) due to his usual good shot selection. It is fair to say that this French team had several other scoring alternatives and the plays werent set up for one specific go-to-guy. Apart from these standout showings, he delivered several other solid games. He exploded offensively in three games, twice reaching 24 points and even scoring 32 in the gold medal game, which his team lost. He's been a very streaky shooter throughout his career, which is a major issue, but always looks just on the verge of breaking through and developing into a very interesting player.Īlthough top-scoring for his team with 16 ppg, his performance was still somewhat inconsistent. The French player is a great athlete with an NBA caliber frame, but is slightly undersized at just 6-3 in shoes and looks mostly content firing up pull-up jumpers. On one hand he seemingly never fails to put up strong performances year after year in the EuroCamp, but on the other he still hasn't come close to breaking through during the regular season when things matter most. Jackson is a bit of an enigma in this draft, and has been for some time. The brass of one Western conference playoff team sat down to interview him right after the game ended on the bench. Don't think NBA teams didn't notice either. On the day he shot 12/15, which for him and his generally suspect shot selection was a big plus. He netted 18 points, grabbed 4 boards and his defensive pressure on the other side of the court caused the other team to cough up 4 turnovers. In the All-star game he shot a perfect 7/7 including one three and some long twos, he got to the line after taking it strong to the rack, he finished well he did it all. Edwin Jackson of France was killing it on day three.
