Just to wrap this up, because I like the convo ... I agree with all of this, except that there was a consensus he was a "pure" shooter.  He had a nice stroke that projected well if he kept developing it, but he was an insane athlete.

Just because I wanted to acknowledge that my memory may not be EXACTLY accurate, I looked up a few reports.  The first 2 I read mentioned his athleticism the first 7 strengths then said he has a "sweet stroke but unorthodox release" and mentioned how he also fades a ton and has bad shot selection sometimes ... the second one mentioned his scorer's mentality and being a "respectable shooter" who struggles to finish, but projects as a scoring 2-guard because he's got tools and crazy athleticism (last part paraphrased).

Again, I will say it is not an exact comp but I don't remember a ton of talk about him being some Bradley Beal / Ray Allen type.  He was a freak athlete they wanted to make into a CG.  He ultimately became more of a 2.

Jackson is not the offensive prospect he was, I've said that all along.
