The Milwaukee Bucks traded with the Orlando Magic to take Andre Jackson No. 36 overall in the 2nd round on Thursday night, making him the second Husky selected on the evening. UConn last had two draftees in 2014 (Shabazz Napier and DeAndre Daniels).
The heart and soul of the 2023 national champions, Jackson makes plays on both ends of the court and makes the players around him better. The Amsterdam, New York native had a strong NBA Combine, impressing scouts with his passing, athleticism, and defensive prowess.
The question about Jackson has been his shooting. He had some rough patches during the regular season but seemed to figure it out by the end.
