Josh Jackson is a beast. He’s a 6’8″ playmaker who can come at you on defense, blow by you on offense, and run through you in transition. In the Las Vegas Summer League, J-Jax showed everyone why he was such a highly touted player coming into the draft (skip ahead to the 45 second mark).

Like Davon Reed, Jackson brings tremendous value on the defensive end. In addition to being a very solid on-ball defender, Jackson has a great wingspan and will also be able to excel in help defense and chase down blocks.

The rest of the league needs to watch out: Josh Jackson is officially here.
