I in NO way will be upset if we end up with Jax!!  He is more ready to help NOW than Isaac, but I think Isaac ends up being the BEST player taken in this draft.

P.S.  You make a decent argument about our SF situation too.

How is he 20 as a freshman? I was 17 my freshman year

Must have been held back. Usually college freshman go in at 18, and turn 19 sometime during the year. He just turned 20 on February 10th, so he seems to be the perfect age for a sophomore.

interesting, maybe his parents held him back a year for an athletic advantage

Very nice game. Pressure doesnt seem like it phases Jackson

Usually that means he had academic issues.

When was his birthday? Maybe he just turned 20. Entering college at 19 is only 1 year behind.

He reminds me of Dr. J, not just the 'fro, the way he glides around the court.   He doesn't force anything, let's the game come to him.

He would be able to contribute right away to an NBA team, probably more so than Fultz or Ball. Very poised.

[CoachBo]

Very skilled player.

But I remain concerned about the off-court stuff. There's now a car vandalism that his name has been attached to in the media.

not really concerned about this

I agree

Anyone watching WVU vs. Kansas right now?

just looking at the box score Jackson is 3-12 with just 12 points but he does have 9 rebounds 4 steals and perhaps most importantly 6-8 on free throws.

[Rainmaker]

If he had range and a consistent jump shot,  he'd be in consideration for the  first pick.
If Boston picks  3 or 4, he  might be in a Celtics uniform  next season.
Long term who has more upside: Jackson, Isaac or  Fultz?
