5. Josh Jackson, SF, Kansas (Prev. 6)

Josh Jackson is the most athletic of the three forwards at the top of the draft, but his question marks (outside shooting) are too redundant of Justise Winslow’s, as well are his strengths (perimeter defense, athleticsm). Jackson has a ton of potential as a two-way player, though, and could be a star in the NBA.

6. De’Aaron Fox, PG, Kentucky (Prev. 5)

De’Aaron Fox may be the most athletic point guard in this class, and he’ll thrive early on by getting to the rim. Fox is the prototype point guard you want running a drive-and-kick offense. Because of his length and defense, he’ll be able to play early, too. If he were to fall to the Heat, I could see them taking him and playing him alongside Goran Dragic in the backcourt, before eventually supplanting him as the starting point guard. But he won’t fall that far.
