We close out the first round with a crowd-pleaser for Jazz fans in Utah. Duke guard Frank Jackson was the state’s Mr. Basketball and a McDonald’s All-American when he starred for Lone Peak High School in the Salt Lake City area. He was also the player most mocked to the Jazz in our drafts with half of us sending him to the Jazz at No. 30.

In looking at his actual skillset, he’s a combo guard that can jump out of the gym (he registered a 42-inch max vertical at the combine) and score in a myriad of ways.

On the downside, he has good size as a point guard, but is more of a two where his measurements are average. He was also pretty streaky as a collegiate.
