Dawgman.com spoke Saturday with Vance Jackson, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward from southern California who was in Seattle attending the Tony Wroten Skills Academy at Garfield High School. He also visited UW during his stay in the Emerald City.
Analysis
Jackson earned his national stature on the basis of his jump shot. He buries long bombs repeatedly and poses a constant threat to defenses. His stroke isn’t the quickest but is nearly flawless in form. We list him as a wing, but he’s certainly tall enough to be the four-man — or at least the second-tallest guy for his team — should the need arise.
