From Zach Lowe's article:
9. Justin Jackson, floating
Unless the Sacramento Kings get The Guy in this draft -- and they've hurt their chances with a few recent loss-wins -- they will need someone among the De'Aaron Fox/Buddy Hield/Willie Cauley-Stein/Bogdan Bogdanovic/Skal Labissiere group to really pop over the next three or four years. They are each on vaguely encouraging trajectories, but it's a long way from adding up to anything meaningful.
It's easy to forget about Justin Jackson. He's 23, without the same hoppy athleticism as some of those guys. He fell out of the rotation for stretches after opening the season as a starter.
But over the past two months, he has emerged as worth watching, and that alone is a win for the Kings. He's 17-of-45 from deep in March, keeping alive the possibility that he might grow into an average 3-point shooter. He moves well on defense, and tries hard.
He's also got a nifty floater -- a key weapon for guys who can't power through behemoths at the rim:
That's awkward, but it works for Jackson. He has taken a ton of floater-range shots, and made 44 percent of them, per Cleaning The Glass -- a tidy mark. You can't build an offense around 44 percent 2-pointers, but it's a nice break-in-case-of-shot-clock-emergency tool.
