NBA Mock Draft 2017: Fultz & Ball Are Top 2 Picks

No. 3 Los Angeles Lakers: SF/SG Josh Jackson


School: Kansas


Position: Small Forward/Shooting Guard


Size: 6'8"/207 pounds


Class: Freshman


2016-17 Stats: 16.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 3 apg, .504 FG%, .373 3P%


Outlook: Jackson has some similarities to Brandon Ingram, but Jackson offers enough of a different skill set that would allow the two players to coexist. Like a few of the top prospects, Jackson plays on one of the top college basketball teams and will be able to use the NCAA Tournament to his advantage. Jackson is one of the best all-around players in the draft with the ability to score, defend and rebound. NBA teams will ask questions about his recent misdemeanor property damage charge, but it is unlikely to hurt his draft stock. ESPN's Chad Ford notes Jackson still has the potential to move into the discussion for the first pick. (Getty)
