Jaren Jackson Jr.

In my mind, Jaren Jackson’s game fits the ideal version of an NBA big today. The Michigan State star is an athletic player with size who is a solid rebounder and elite rim-protector. On offense, he does most of his damage in the paint but is also comfortable shooting the ball when necessary. Due to his efforts, he averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks for the year.

If Jackson is able to reach his ceiling, he would a great pick for the Kings. In my opinion, Sacramento definitely needs a goalie in the paint to improve their defense, and Jackson can do that and plenty more if he is able to live up to his potential.
