Andre Jackson Jr.

Was part of the UConn Huskies team that won the 2023 NCAA championship — his NBA career began with a national title at the college level.

His 6'10' wingspan gives him defensive coverage that most wings cannot match — coaches design switching schemes around his ability to guard 1-through-4.

Grew up in Connecticut, where UConn basketball is a cultural institution — he played for the home state program before the NBA.

His development under Mike Budenholzer's system and Doc Rivers has been praised internally as one of the faster growth arcs for a second-round pick on the roster.
