UC Riverside’s veteran forward with size, toughness, and low-usage reliability
James Jackson brings old-school forward value: at 6-foot-8 and 235 pounds, he’s a sturdy, physical presence who has historically rebounded, defended, and played within the system rather than chasing touches. In the 2017-18 season at UC Riverside, he averaged 2.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.3 minutes per game, and his appeal is less about flash than about glue-guy maturity, positional size, and a dependable motor. If a roster needs a rugged role player who knows his lane, Jackson fits the bill.
