GG Jackson brings pro-level scoring punch and NBA upside to South Carolina
In his 2022-23 season at South Carolina, Gregory "GG" Jackson II averaged 15.4 points and 5.9 rebounds in 32 games, and was the Gamecocks’ leading scorer as a true freshman[1][5]. His calling card was shot creation: he could score at all three levels, attack the rim, and use turnaround jumpers to bail out possessions when the offense stalled[9]. The big question was efficiency and consistency, since he shot 38.4% from the field and 32% from three that season[5][9]. He was a high-end, hometown five-star recruit who reclassified early, so the upside was loud even when the polish was still catching up[3][4].
