Scouting Journals for Elmarko Jackson

Elmarko Jackson is a strong framed, long armed lead guard. Built like he’s already been in a college strength and conditioning program for a couple years. Jackson is a jet-quick lead guard, one of the fastest in the country with the ball in his hands. The jump shot can get flat, but he’s shooting it better off the bounce. He has upside on the defensive end and is developing his reads in the half court. At 6-4/200 with great speed one the ball is eye-opening. His dad played football at Temple and uncle played football at Michigan.

Elmarko Jackson showed a lot of intriguing tools during McDonald’s week. With his long arms and strong frame, he showed burst with a quick first step. He also showed explosive pop in the dunk contest. Jackson played with good pace, not playing rushed with the ball in his hands, and he showed to be a good enough defender. The jump shot, especially off the catch will be a swing skill for him, needs to continue tightening that up. He did knock down pull-up jumpers in the mid range.
