Jackson is the most physical player I think I’ve seen today. Knows how to get to the line and connect. Her power moves on the block and from the top of the key- good luck trying to slow down her momentum! She’s like a freight train! Dominates the boards! (Featured Photo)

A very physical player that made her presence known on the court! Looks like she is a versatile piece and looks like she can play the wing and power forward.

I love her muscle in the paint! Malia does a great job squaring up to the basket and using the backboard! If I’m her point guard, I’m lobbing it to Jackson all day long! Great hands, confident, and grabbing boards/ scoring in the paint is a normal day at the office!

Jackson will end up being one of the most dominant players in the state when its all said and done. She can score from anywhere on court and can alter every possession on the defensive end with her size. Has an above average mid-range jumper, uses her physicality to create space for her left handed hook shot. Clean compact shot, quick release. Loves to attack the basket and draw contact.

Jackson is an elite shot blocker and rim protector. Efficient at finishing in the paint and shows nice touch in the post. Can shoot it from the mid range. Elite rebounder on both ends of the floor, plays with physical edge.

Jackson is an absolute force. One of the top forwards in the state. Brings a versatile skill set and excels in a lot of areas. Has the ability to play as a point forward in half court sets. Can kick out of the post when she draws doubles teams. Excellent shot blocker with excellent anticipation and can alter shots in one on one. Plays with high motor, elite rebounder, and can take it floor to floor on the break. Good shooter from the perimeter. Has nice mechanics but needs more reps to stretch the floor. Has elite finishing touch and footwork around the basket.
