It’s his ninth straight year on the ballot, and given his incredibly impressive resume, it seems as though it’s only a matter of time till the former No. 1 overall pick gets in.
Draft buzz builds for Boston and Jackson
Two Wildcats cracked the first round in Jeff Goodman’s 2021 debut mock draft for Stadium. Here’s where he slotted Isaiah Jackson and Brandon Boston Jr., as well as what he had to say about each prospect:
18. Oklahoma City Thunder (from Miami) – Isaiah Jackson, 6-10, 210, PF, Fr., Kentucky
Jackson is raw and still a major work in progress, but displayed glimpses of someone who can be a big-time defender and rim runner at the next level. It’ll just take time. Jackson needs to put on weight, but he’s long and athletic, can run the court well, and can impact the game with his ability to alter and block shots.
24. Houston Rockets (from Milwaukee) – Brandon Boston Jr., 6-7, 185, SG, Fr., Kentucky
Boston is ultra-long and can score, although he struggled to do that for much of his time at Kentucky as a freshman. But he could become a Brandon Ingram-type of player due to his body frame and the potential to score consistently as he adds strength.
Isaiah Briscoe declares for 2021 Big3 Draft
The former Wildcat could be taking his talents to the Big3, a 3-on-3 basketball league founded by Ice Cube in 2017.
