Summary:
Quenton Jackson is a skilled combo guard that had a good senior season at Texas A&M. He can do a little bit of everything to help his team, and he also can run the point if needed to do so. He doesn’t look like an exceptional athlete as he tends to operate at a steady, slow pace, but he also can throw down an impressive dunk on the break.
Jackson had a solid showing in his team’s March 12th win over Arkansas, and he scored 20 points, and had 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals to showcase his skills on that day. He will need to improve his shot selection, but Jackson is an energetic combo guard that could operate as a secondary ball mover or in a 3 and D role in the NBA someday.
