UNC basketball commit [autotag]G.G. Jackson[/autotag] is coming off a big showing in the NBPA Top 100 camp where he took home MVP honors. The five-star recruit lived up to the billing of being the top player in the 2023 class and should carry that ranking through the Summer.
While Jackson has proven to be a top player, one analyst praised a certain area of his game that might be a little underrated for the forward position.
Rivals reporter Russ Wood was on hand for the event and talked about Jackson’s game:
Jackson missed each three-pointer he attempted in his afternoon game on Thursday but he was productive in so many other ways and lived up to his No. 1 ranking. I love his motor and volume rebounding. His ball handling – let’s just say Jackson and the ball have a relationship – is very impressive.
It’s no secret that Jackson can fill up the score sheet with his scoring and rebounding abilities, but if he’s able to keep getting better with his ball-handling skills, then he could be even better at the next level for UNC.
Jackson might just be the perfect fit for Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels’ system which should be good news for the future of the program.
