PREDRAFT MEASUREMENTS
When on the floor he was often responsible for connecting the dots and being the distributor. If needed he is capable of stepping up and score the points but in this team that was not needed. Controlled the offense well, made the correct decisions and did not commit many unnecessary mistakes. A few times, he struggled to create the separation against aggressive defense and needs to be a little more aggressive. High IQ defender, made the correct reads and has the athleticism to defend well on perimeter.
Probably one of the biggest surprises of the tournament and deservingly he got the spot in the all-tournament team even though not many people expected that before the tournament. He was the best Alba’s player and played an important role in their fast-paced system. He played his role on both ends and showed aggressiveness and played pesky perimeter defense, used his athleticism and quickness well to get steals (led the competition with 3.8 steals per game) and initiate the transition plays. Jack could score on all three levels in offense and showed upside in that regard too. Definitely a player worth following since he can make impact on both ends and play on both guard positions.
