2023 NBA Draft player profile: GG Jackson

Related Topics: Walker Kessler

Gregory “GG” Jackson is what one might call an “iffy” prospect. As in he’ll be the best player in the league “if” he develops ball-handling and “if” he develops as a shooter and “if” he commits himself to being a great defender, and like two or three other ifs.

The lack of concrete skills right now has held Jackson back in terms of draft value, but his physical traits give him a ceiling that scouts can hardly overlook. It’ll be enough to earn Jackson a draft selection in the first round, perhaps as high as the mid teens.
