Here's everything you need to know about Andre Jackson Jr. before the 2023 NBA Draft.

Andre Jackson Jr. Scouting Report and Draft Prediction

Andre Jackson Jr. is one of the more exciting prospects in this draft class when focusing on physical attributes alone. He possesses insane jumping abilities and has blazing speed when faced with an open court in front of him. Not only that, but the UConn standout has incredible court vision that allows him to set his teammates up for easy shots with crisp passes. The foundation of a star is there.

The 21-year-old leaned on those traits to average 6.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists across 29.1 minutes per game in his final season with the Huskies. Keep in mind he was he main ball-handler on an offense that won the NCAA Tournament. Jackson stepped up in the postseason as he tallied 6.8 assists and 1.3 steals across six games. He did all of the little things needed to help his team win.

Jackson is far from a perfect prospect, though, as he never truly stepped up as a productive scorer in college and rarely took advantage in isolation plays. He has the tools to turn into a player capable of driving through contact and finishing at the rim, but he has yet to put it all together. Improving in that aspect as well as at the free throw line (70.2% in college) will be crucial in Jackson's development.

Overall, Jackson has shown through highlight dunks and insane assists that he can be an immediate spark plug off the bench for a contending team. Whether or not he turns into more than that will be determined by his offensive expansion. The Los Angeles Clippers line up as a potential landing spot given head coach Ty Lue has experience creating roles for players that excel in one specific area.

Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers (Round 1, 30th overall)
