Ian Jackson brings shot-making juice and upside to St. John’s
In the 2025-26 season, Ian Jackson averaged 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.3 minutes for St. John’s while shooting 40.9% from the field, 34.3% from three and 90.0% at the line[1][2]. The big draw is his scoring burst: he can get hot quickly, attack off the dribble, and his high-end free-throw touch hints at real shooting upside, but scouts have also said the key question is whether he can sharpen his point-guard playmaking and become a primary creator[11]. He fits a team that needs instant offense and perimeter skill, and he’s a compelling watch because the ceiling is louder than the box score[11].
