NBA Mock Draft: Ranking top 10 realistic picks for New York Knicks

4. G.G. Jackson, F, South Carolina

At least in my opinion, Gregory (or G.G.) Jackson is one of the most intriguing prospects in this year’s NBA Draft. Some NBA scouts have identified Jackson as somewhat of a positional tweener, but he has an intriguing skill set that could make him a more popular prospect as we inch closer to the NBA Draft. Jackson is known as the youngest player in this draft class and one that is still just scratching the surface of the player that he can be – whether that ends up working in his favor or not remains to be seen.

The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 15 points and six rebounds on 38% shooting from the field. He also has a capable three-point shot in his arsenal – shooting at a 32% clip this season. He’s still an extremely raw prospect but has shown the potential to be a worthy roll of the dice in the first round.

There are questions as to whether he’ll play the 3 or 4 at the next level but when it comes to his athleticism and potential down the road, I believe that a team like the Knicks should be willing to take on the risk.
