Frank Jackson was born on May 4, 1988, so he won’t turn 20 years of age until well after the 2017-18 NBA regular season has come and gone.
Did you know this fact alone puts him in some rarefied company?
Since the one-and-done rule was implemented prior to the 2006 NBA Draft, 64 players have been selected who could still be classified as teenagers the following February. These youngest of the young entering the professional ranks have comprised less than nine percent of all those chosen in the last 12 drafts combined!
More incredibly though, only eight of these specific 19-year-olds were picked by teams in second rounds, and just five before this latest draft: Ivica Zubac (32nd in 2016 Draft), Diamond Stone (40th in 2016 Draft), Damien Inglis (31st in 2014 Draft), Davis Bertans (42nd in 2011 Draft) and Ryan Richards (49th in 2010 Draft).
