NBA Mock Draft 2017: Justin Jackson Lands in Lottery

No. 8 Minnesota Timberwolves: SF Jonathan Isaac


School: Florida State


Position: Small Forward


Size: 6'10"/210 pounds


Class: Freshman


2016-17 Stats: 12.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.2 apg, .508 FG%, .348 3P%


Outlook: Last mock draft, I had the T-Wolves taking Miles Bridges. It is a difficult decision between Isaac and Bridges. Isaac gives Minnesota another long, athletic player to plug into their lineup. Isaac's willingness to play defense and get his teammates involved fits in well with Tom Thibodeau's system. The question about Isaac is whether he can develop into a go-to player, but on Minnesota he does not need to be that sort of player. The Timberwolves are as good of a fit for Isaac as he could find. Arizona big man Lauri Markkanen could also be in play here if he is still on the board. (Getty)
