so look man today we're going to be talking about Ria Jackson this is a rookie that we don't really talk about you know there's a small talks but I'm telling you right now I've seen a couple of her games like live just on stream and she has a skill set to me she has a way better skill set than a lot of these rookies out here in the WNBA right now and I think she has one of the highest upsides in the league when it comes to the rookie class you know H came and Brink unfortunately Brinks is hurt that's really really un forunate because I feel like she'd be in that rookie of the race uh like second runner up not rookie of the year but second runner up option her and Ria Jackson so uh let's go ahead let's watch some highlights and see what we see and debate about it but I I think uh she's got a good upside man for real the off that's a good bucket right there like for her to go spin off the glass like that with poise like that's and and then seal the defender come [Applause] here good move man Jackson trying to put it on the deck the spin move Falling Away Ria Jackson good jum coming and it still goes down [ __ ] loudy playing with the four fouls like bro seal the defender right we going come off the spin and pull a jump shot with a hand in my face off one foot and hit nothing but neck playing with a four personal foul spins off of her shot opportunities here quick again bro y'all not even seeing the double clutch you're really not you're really not you're not even seeing the double clutch SP off of her shot opportunties here quickly come here give me that come on man that's a beautiful bucket right there to beat The Bu with the layup thatch up against the give me that bro I'm telling you she could play a little defense as well [Music] [Applause] give me that tell you get out transition run like look bro I'm telling you she can spread the floor we ain't even see her shootting no threes yet we can spread the floor play some defense running transition handle the ball decently she's got a good upside for sure Jackson the squad this season makes a big time triple there Jackson trying to answer and does how much confidence does ria Jackson play with all not at a 13 a piece here first quarter [Music] Action Jackson she'll try a three from it's like for me already I'm just gonna be honest man she needs to be in that second Rookie of the Year runnerup like talk it ain't gonna be rookie of the year but the runner up situation she can shoot the ball I'm telling you spread the floor man her upside for sure offensively is better than Angel Reese and I love angel Reese and I support Angel Reese I'm not talking about her rebounding or anything like that or defensively Ria Jackson has a offensive game and she looks like the best offensive player as far as the rookie class goes her and Brinks for sure the upside you got to look I mean it's right in her face what are we talking about okay man down try a three connect we knocking that [Applause] down yep we going off the dribble reverse like for sure like I like come on now it looks pure too it ain't no like go it ain't like no funny it's rail with the HEI in the reverse the nurse they leave her again offensive rebound here forly for theks the she got that one executive of the year in 2017 so this is the guy you want in that spot here's Jackson the come on now with the with the pull with the midi with the gima that pullup come on now th this is looking nice right here how you want in that spot here's ja defense and hits the oh yeah I like that with 23 points scoreless in the fourth quarter so far Jackson one two step with the left and the rookies got 20 with the rebound the where is the foul on that first off rebound I guess she like put her arque put her hand on her hip transition game gets the bucket and the arm yeah coach LT told us that was going to be so important right establishing their dominance in the paint oh how about the rookie Ria Jackson a coming off a 19point performance against Seattle on Sunday here's Jackson the nice turn around little rookie there R getting the best of Edwards barell who's giv good minutes to the Sparks tonight off the bench Jackson turning the corner stops pops nothing but net here's Hy five on the shot clock kick out gotta do something it's like for as what it's I'm telling you now I've seen enough she has a better skill set than Angel Reese when it comes to offense for sure I'm not saying she's broken records or done any of that but when it comes to upside right now her upside looks better than andrees that jump shot is looking nice she got the midi the pull up off the dribble reverse here's hamy five on the shot clock the kick out Jackson got to do something Rook throws it up oh she got it aay down by four picking pop with Jackson shot fake Jackson in over grinder come back here until July fans getting their money worth Jackson the crossover against Martin getting their money worth the crossover against and uses the Z screen crosscourt Jackson CS it like a running back the finger roll is good three other times this season in that second meeting after losses this La team right now is learning and they're learning under Kurt Miller one of the best coaches in the wbut and they're a work in progress but early buckets here in Minnesota with the left hand and that's a foul she held her [Music] hand and running the floor yeah she going to be a problem man yeah bro she going to be a problem I seen enough like literally like it it it not even it's just even if she missed all those technique wise it just looks like the upside is just better Angel ree has some serious work to do offensively I'm I'm really surprised you know a lot of people aren't talking about Ria at all like that like Ria Jackson

she's been in Haley Jones here a lot this season helping her through give me that former P 12 player says yeah bro she's on the recruiting list for sure we need to figure out how and what we're going to do to make that happen because rakia Jax's upside to me is wonderful so we're going to have to figure out what we're going to do we're going to have to put some pieces together because I love to see her at the two guard because yeah her her game to me is flawless I love it definitely has skill set two way guard um looks like she can handle the ball a little bit not too much but you know she plays her role hits her shots can shoot the three ball can spread the floor damn finish at The Rim I seen her go left go right reverse I seen it all so huh I'm going have to look at the contracts and stuff like that and try to figure all that stuff out because Ria Jackson yeah problem [Music] problem yeah she's got to be in the talks man because to me I ain't even going to lie this might change a couple people this might change some people's opinion bro as far as like the second runner up like between her and Angel this is a problem I love angel man she's doing her thing with the rebounding and everything she can do but I mean rakia is lowkey hooping a little bit I get it her team is cheeks but ah we got to talk about this one man I don't know I'm G have to watch her college highlights I've never really seen her hoop like that but this right here this is uh this is this is different so yeah man that's Ria Jackson right there should be on the lookout for her I'm G be covering her a lot more actually sh she could hoot man so I'mma catch you guys in the next video let me know what you guys think about this one I'm out
