NBA Draft 2017: Top 10 Best College Basketball Players for March Madness

No. 2 SF/SG Josh Jackson (Kansas)


School: Kansas


Position: Small Forward/Shooting Guard


Size: 6'8"/207 pounds


Class: Freshman


Why Watch: It has been a rough couple weeks for Jackson who got in trouble for kicking the car door of a Kansas women's basketball player. Kansas suspended Jackson for the first game of the Big 12 Tournament where the Jayhawks ended up losing to TCU. Kansas remained a one seed despite the loss, and is the favorite to reach the Final Four coming out of the Midwest Region. Jackson plays with high intensity and adds buckets of offense when he is on the floor. Jackson is at his best when attacking the rim and has no problem getting after rebounds. From a draft perspective, the story line of the tournament will be how Jackson compares to Duke's Jayson Tatum. Both are considered the top forwards in the draft with each player looking to emerge as the next guy in line after Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball. It would be no surprise if Jackson ends up being the player of the tournament. (Getty)
