I have Jackson as an 81/PF (Elite Defender)
As with Ayton and other Rookies I'm expecting his OVR to be suppressed by a low Intangibles. Jackson's performance (14 BLK% as a freshman) is particularly insane, this class is so good.

STRENGTHS
Lets just say that if Serge Ibaka entered the league with a 3pt shot he would have went much higher than 24th.
WEAKNESSES
His rebounding is so poor that you can't justify playing him at center (which has also kept Ibaka from logging much time here in his career). Yet he may end up playing most of his minutes there on a Grizzlies team with no other obvious backup to Gasol. Also lacks post moves (granted he's 19). Ain't ya pops play with Hakeem, Duncan, and Robinson?
NCAA BLK% Notables
18.8% Hassan Whiteside (All-Time Leader)
13.8% Anthony Davis
Most of the players who lead in this category don't possess a shred of offensive talent (the ones who do sniff the league are backup-tier guys like Jeff Withey). A player with Jackson's offensive tools stands out as a major sleeper candidate in terms of where he could be five years from now. Probably highest upside in the draft.
