Charlotte Hornets (via DEN)[/HEADING] [HEADING=2][URL='https://theathletic.com/player/college-basketball/connecticut-huskies-college-basketball/andre-jackson-sAgGeVyouIwtEAEr/']Andre Jackson[/URL] | 6-6 wing | 21 years old | Connecticut[/HEADING] [INDENT][I]This comes to Charlotte from a variety of draft-day trades. It is lottery protected. Jackson is one of my favorite upside swings in this year’s class, a monster athlete who started to come into his own by midseason last year, particularly as a ballhandler. He used to struggle to put the ball on the deck and make passing reads confidently, but by the end of the season, he was very comfortable as Connecticut’s secondary ballhandler behind [URL='https://theathletic.com/player/college-basketball/connecticut-huskies-college-basketball/rj-cole-9zVE0zpIyUEj0Fqx/']R.J. Cole[/URL]. He’s not the most comfortable shooter at volume, but he hit 36 percent from 3 last season on limited attempts. He can run forever, and he’s a great defender who never seems to tire. I’m a big believer in him being a good developmental project long-term because of the roles he’s had to play early in his career at Connecticut. Now, he should be more ready to step into a primary role for what I think is a top-20 team next season in terms of talent.[/I][/INDENT] Also has Jordan Hawkins at 36, but no write up on him.
