Andre Jackson has the best hops in UConn history

[WhereistheDove?]

He dunks with zero effort or stress, I use more energy tying my shoes.

This. He’s so athletic that at first glance it doesn’t even seem all that impressive based on the total lack of effort.... until you take a step back and realize just what it is he’s doing.

Highlights from the game, includes a little more than just dunks-
(there’s music so adjust your volume accordingly)

Looks like they’re teaching him the new age Curry style shot. Looks really nice and most importantly it’s going in.

Still a pretty ugly shot. He grips the ball from the front with his off hand and his set point is way too low. Kind of mechanical.

The change I see is his strong-hand grip is a little wider and he is consciously cocking his wrist back. Didn't do this before. Both of these are important steps in his rebuild--should help him get arc. I'm sure the plan next will be to raise the set point and follow through over time

That shot really needs work. But man is he dynamic attacking the rim. I also liked the full court pass, playmaking is the most underappreciated part of his game.

How do you even learn to shoot like this?

We're pretty fortunate that this kid looked at Syracuse's loaded roster that is currently terrorizing college basketball and decided that he'd have an easier route to playing time over here.

I can't tell you how much I love this post!

To OP: Stanley Robinson would like a word with you.

 

[superjohn]

lol @ all the people who think Stanley is more athletic than this kid.

As much as we focus on his insane athleticism, the kid is a plus passer at 6'6.

Any 3’s?

And probably the best wing defender in the class. I'm hoping he's our Iguodala.

That's quite the proclamation. Any sourcing on that?

I've been going down an Andre Jackson rabbit-hole over the past 30 minutes. I honestly don't think it's a stretch to say that he might be the best pure athlete that we've ever had on the UConn basketball team. His speed + leaping ability to absolutely insane. Who knows about his ability to shoot, but he is going to be a nightmare on the fast-break.

Uhhhhh can somebody clarify his quote for me about transferring if he isn’t a factor? Could have had too many Rolling Rocks tonight, so it might be them speaking, but That was an odd quote.

 

[Towney007]

Jeez that transfer quote. Eek.

 

[UCfor3]

Yeah, that was a little rough but probably just a high school kid shooting from the hip in the spur of the moment. Still kind of like someone talking about divorce on the eve your wedding day though.

 

[jibsey]

He woulda made that dunk that Bouk missed last night.
