Sequence prediction: The middle part of the first round
Advantages:
1. As the youngest rookie, the top five-star high school student, and GG-Jackson, who was once ranked first in the United States by many media, I have already possessed strong physical quality and enough sports ability to cope with NBA level physical confrontation, and the running and jumping ability is very strong.
2. The attacking end is versatile and hard-working. It can cut in, cover and grab the board. In the low position, he can well get stuck in the position of the defensive player, and he can quickly rush to the front court in the fast attack. Even if he didn’t get the ball, he wouldn’t stop trying.
3. A good open pitcher, although he only hit 34.5% of the open space in three points this season, and the current efficiency of holding the ball is not high, but his smooth fengshui ball movements have the ability to create a lot of space for himself. He can shoot easily and is expected to become a reliable shooter in the future.
4. The smart Endler can fight against the layup from some awkward angles, and has a soft hand feeling in the layup, such as considering his ability to control the ball and decisive style, he is likely to become an excellent breakout, and after he catches the defensive rebound, he has the threat of a fast attack.
5. Be able to make full use of your physical advantages and go all out on the defensive side. As long as his skills catch up, he should become an excellent defender.
Disadvantages:
1. After finishing the senior three season with an average of 22.1 points and 10.9 rebounds of 2.5 cap, GG-Jackson chose to jump into Nanka, however, the efficiency of the freshman season, coupled with the team’s bleak record of 11 wins and 21 losses, is contrary to people’s high expectations, and the draft market has a large decline.
2. Shooting choice is a problem existing in GG-Jackson, who often forces to lay in the basket. But this is not all his fault, because Nanka lacks a stable defender and the team lacks space, so he often has to choose some difficult shots.
3. The passing accuracy is not enough. He can see the timing of passing the ball, but sometimes he cannot accurately pass it to the position.
4. Since high school, the free throw shooting rate is not very good, which makes people worry about his shooting potential.
5. Have height, but as a center in the small ball lineup, it will suffer a lot in terms of arm show and strength, more like a large flank player.
Summary:
GG-Jackson, who became famous early in high school, has great physical quality and athletic ability, and can fully adapt to the confrontation at the university level after jumping. On the offensive side, he is versatile, capable of fengshui ball and no ball. However, the problem of shooting selection leads to his low offensive efficiency and passing awareness, but the passing accuracy needs to be improved; on the defensive side, the flank defense is not a big problem, but it will suffer a lot in position 5. However, as an 18-year-old young player, his problems are actually quite common among young players. The team needs to put more patience into him and cultivate him well, besides, GG-Jackson is very active and hard at both ends of attack and defense. As long as he can keep his mind, it is not impossible to realize his potential.
