5. Jaren Jackson Jr., F, Michigan State

Jaren Jackson Jr. is all about potential. And he has a ton of it.

JJJ wasn’t asked to carry much of the load for the Spartans this season; he only attempted seven shots per game, while averaging nearly 11 points and three blocks per contest. That doesn’t mean he didn’t have it in him, though.

JJJ will be drafted based on his ability to defend, but has all the tools to be an elite offensive player at the next level. Whoever drafts JJJ will have to be patient.
