2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Rick Jackson
Position: Power Forward
Size: 6-9, 240
School: Syracuse, Senior
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Jackson has turned into a double-double machine in his senior season which has increased his chances of being a second-round pick in 2011. However, his lack of a step-out game on the offensive end could mean he goes undrafted and has to try to make a roster the hard way.
Player Comparison: Darnell Jackson. I really do not see Rick Jackson being anything more than an additional body on the roster to add depth up front if he even makes a team. Darnell has a little bigger body but had a similar collegiate career in that he was a solid role player due to his physicality and rebounding which is what makes Rick a solid player at Syracuse. Darnell will never be a significant contributor in the NBA, and I do not see Rick making a major splash either unless he develops a face-up game.
