Justin Jackson

Height (without/with shoes): 6’7″/6’8.25″

Weight: 200.8 lbs

Wingspan: 6’11”

Body Fat Percentage: 8.10%

Lane agility (seconds): 10.80

Shuttle run (seconds): 3.06

3/4 court sprint (seconds): 3.30

Standing Vertical Leap (inches): 29.5

Max Vertical (inches): 35.5

Here’s what the numbers mean for Jackson: he is exactly who we thought he was. He is not that fastest player in the draft, not the most athletic, but tested well in almost every category.

He tested third (seventh overall) out of all the combo wings for lane agility as well as seventh out of all invitees for shuttle run.

In terms of his vertical, he tested right in the middle of everyone. He actually jumped better than some expected from him.

So overall, Jackson had a good combine but didn’t really surprise many people in any of his measurements. He is still projected mid-late lottery and that is where is will stay.
