It is starting to look like something may be there. It's very unconventional but if he can hit it with regularity he becoms a more dangerous player.
Yeah I like to see Andre post up more as he is not too effective unless close to the basket.Andre posting up with that push shot from 6 feet is looking good.
It still is a push shot that he wasn't covered that tight. Until he develops a real jump shot he isn't an NBA player. That shot in the NBA is being blocked.Jackson is an enigma, you never know what you are going to get from him. He makes like an NBA range 3 in the 1st and then doesnt shoot another 3 the rest of the game. He makes a great turnaround floater after being silent on offense the rest of the game. The sky is the limit if he can figure out his offense.
Completely agree. He really needs to be aggressive trying to get to the basket when he does this. He automatically be already looking for someone to pass the ball to. He should automatically be trying to get to the basket first.Looks like when he gets the rebound and runs it up the floor, that the other team's defense is not yet set.
So then, he should be able to continue his dribble and take the ball to the hoop. Will a guard switch and strip the ball or will a center come over and block the shot, or will he even make the layup? He has to try first and find out. Even with a miss, he wouldn't be the only player on the team to miss a bunny.
With practice, he should improve.
An amazing athlete with a high motor and great feel for the game who should have a successful career in the NBA…………if the shooting improves.It still is a push shot that he wasn't covered that tight. Until he develops a real jump shot he isn't an NBA player. That shot in the NBA is being blocked.
That’s a great call. The floater seems useful several feet out (I still like a little glass maybe), but with his athleticism, he just needs to drop the anvil like Sticks or Rudy if he’s a couple feet away.I want him to watch video of Stanley Robinson. Get his body in position to throw it down! Most kids these days seem to think jams only happen on drives.
I would love for Sanogo to do thatI want him to watch video of Stanley Robinson. Get his body in position to throw it down! Most kids these days seem to think jams only happen on drives.
Exactly… stop watching Pistol Pete, and start watching Dr J.I want him to watch video of Stanley Robinson. Get his body in position to throw it down! Most kids these days seem to think jams only happen on drives.
agreed. I mean he really is not a threat to score from anywhere. His defender can sag off of him and help others on D or simply rest.Certainly is encouraging to see so much improvement on long range shooting, FT's and the occasional floater. His defense and passing has also improved. The two areas where I expected to see improvement were in taking the ball to the hoop, and possibly a pull-up jumper. The pull-up can wait, but would love to see him take it to the hole whenever the opportunity presents. Seems that would be a strength for AJ.
watching Stanley would certainly help him as they both have elite athleticism. I would also like him to watch Tyler Kolek or Marcus Williams on the the 2006 team. Those guys have great passing and court vision and the ability and anticipation to see how plays develop which Jackson has, too. Those other two are pass first players, but keep defenses honest with their shooting the latter which Jackson falls woefully short.I want him to watch video of Stanley Robinson.

He threw up some of the softest teardrop floaters and 3s I've ever seen in that BET and NCAA run. Shots kinda nestled themselves into the hoop.Jermey Lamb had a nice floater at UConn and that worked out well.
