Ian Jackson is a high-level athlete. He has long arms, broad shoulders, and explosive athleticism in the paint. Jackson has confidence with the ball in his hands; he is decisive in getting downhill to the rim. He can rise up and finish above the rim and pull up in the mid-range with an assortment of floaters and pull-ups. Jackson is a capable shooter from three, but he still needs polish with this part of his game, especially when shooting off the bounce or off movement. His shot selection can get a little wild at times. He is comfortable on the ball but would like to see him see the floor better. Jackson is an alpha. He is a competitive defender, both on the ball and off. He wants to guard the other team's best perimeter threat, and he has great tools with his size and athleticism. He has natural athletic tools and the utmost confidence. Jackson is very charismatic.
