15. Charlotte Hornets – Isaiah Jackson, F, Kentucky

The Charlotte Hornets have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA this season and that was due in large part to LaMelo Ball. He’s been every bit as good as advertised and has now given this franchise a star player that they can begin to build around.

Now that he’s settled, one area of need that the Hornets could target is in the frontcourt. A fit at No. 15 is Isaiah Jackson, a 6-foot-10 rim-runner out of Kentucky. Jackson averaged eight points and seven rebounds on 54 percent shooting from the field.

He also averaged nearly three blocks per game and would give the Hornets a rim protector that they’ve missed this season.
