Jackson Defense:

The good-  Great defensive rebounder, very good with tips/deflections, very good shot blocker for a wing player. 
The bad- Loses his man a bunch and is very susceptible to getting back doored on passes.  I tend to think Hurley is okay with this since he rarely pulls Jackson when he gets beat back door.  I think Hurley feels benefit of aggressiveness outweighs the times Jax gets burned.

Jackson Offense:

Still a work in progress.

The good-  so fast and powerful when he wants to be getting to the rim.  Similar to Bouk, he can just open up so much room between he and the defender in one step.  Been real good with FT's.  Still a gifted passer but others have said, keep is simple when simple will do it for you.  
The bad- more than having suspect J is his reluctance to look for his shot when the offensive sets scream for it or when shot clock is winding down.

Looking to next year.  I'd love to see Hurley and the staff work with Jackson on a post up game.  Not as a primary option but during the flow run some baseline screens to free up Jackson near the block.  His size and strength scream for a pretty 6'-8' turn around J off the glass.  You could almost, gawd I hate what I am about to write, try to run the offense through him on the blocks finding cutters, kicking it out to wings or shooting from in close.
