. SF. Kansas. Josh Jackson. 3. player. 18

HT: 6’8″  WT: 203  WINGSPAN: 6’9 ¾”   Age: 20

Josh Jackson has good size on the wing and is a versatile offensive player. At Kansas, he played the small ball four at times and was effective in doing so. His basketball IQ and energy level are off the charts; a combination that could bode well for him in terms of his ceiling along with his measurables.

As with most of the prospects at the top of the draft, his selection range was pretty small in our individual mocks. Unless something crazy happens, he won’t escape the Top 5.
