This guy seems like a SG more than PG. Almost a little Stringer-esque. Only 2.7 assists per game but shot over 39% from 3.

Kid would've dropped 50 on LSU this year.

Akron liked to run their offense through their big man, Isiah Johnson. No idea if Jackson can pass or not, but I think his role here would be a bit different than the one he had there. The assists numbers could rise with that change.

Also, it looks like Jackson went to high school in Houston. Proximity to home is probably something in our favor here.

Yeah his stats really do not indicate a great facilitator. Last season he only averaged 2.7 assist to 1.9 turnovers a game. But at 5-11 he's too undersized to play the 2. He does have really good handles though. He can shoot the three, drive and finish in traffic despite his size, and has quick hands on defense. He would instantly upgrade our roster and play a lot. Hope we get him.
