Strengths: Excellent size on the wing.  Jackson has the handle and first step to beat his defender with the drive.  Has the ability to take wingers into the post and forwards off the dribble.  A willing passer who's shown the ability to find teammates.  Jackson has the height to pass over the defense and has been used as a point-forward in Don Nelson's offense.  Jackson is a versatile defender who uses his length and mobility to bother opposing players.  Having made the jump from High School, Jackson has a lot of professional experience for a player his age.  Good free throw shooter.  A well-rounded winger.

 

Weaknesses: An emotional player, Jackson can get caught up with what he perceives as bad calls.  Shot selection can be questionable at times.  A streaky shooter from the perimeter.  Below average rebounder for his size.  

Outlook: After falling out of favor in Indiana due to off-court indiscretions, Jackson was sent Golden State in an 8-player trade.  He's been a solid addition to the Warriors rotation, affording Coach Nelson flexibility on both ends of the floor.
