Featured40 Wisconsin (October 2021)

Naveya was the definition of energy and intensity. She showed elite-level speed and athleticism that allowed her to outrun or leap over opponents with consistency. She was a strong rebounding guard who was able to give multiple efforts at jumping like a pogo stick and keeping after it until she would secure the ball. When she was headed towards the basket, it was extremely difficult to slow her down as she powered past and through defenders with ease. Another impressive aspect of her game was the ability to come up with blocks from the guard position. She would rise up and emphatically send it back at the shooter without swinging down or coming into the body to cause the foul. Her area of opportunity would be to continue to incorporate the 3-point shot more into her game. While she has the shooting ability, she doesn’t seem to seek out attacking from beyond the perimeter as much and it could help open up the lane for her if the defense had to prepare her to be a shooter as well.

Jackson showed off her willingness and ability to take and make from 3-point range. On the fast break she did a good job of getting to the perimeter line and having hands ready to launch as soon as she receives the ball. She connected from both the corners as well as out on the wings. On defense, she did a good job of getting back in transition defense and breaking up fast break opportunities by leaping in passing lanes for steals and deflections. Her area of opportunity would be attacking off the bounce from the perimeter. With her 3-point shooting ability, defenders will likely close out hard and she can use their momentum against them and power herself close to the basket.
