Jonathan Isaac, Forward, Florida State (9th ranked NBA prospect)

With all the hype around North Carolina, Duke, and Louisville in the ACC throughout this season, people tend to forget about Florida State and their star freshman, Jonathan Isaac.

Isaac, a 6-foot-10 combo forward, averaged 11.9 points and 7.6 rebounds per game during his time in Tallahassee. Isaac pairs above average athletic ability with a 7-foot-1 wingspan to smother the opponent while playing defense. His jump shot is not as developed as a team would hope, but he makes 58 percent of his field goal attempts inside the arc.

Florida State will matchup against fellow Florida team Florida Gulf Coast (also known as Dunk City)  in what is a dangerous 3-14 game. For the Seminoles to advance deep into the tournament, Isaac will have to play to the best of his ability and avoid the inconsistencies that arise during a freshman season. He is a consensus top-10 pick.
