Kansas guard Josh Jackson is the latest one-and-done college basketball star, as he declared for the 2017 NBA draft on Monday and signed with agent BJ Armstrong of the Wasserman Media Group, according to Dave Skretta of the Associated Press.

Jackson was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year for 2016-17 after averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game for the conference's regular-season champs.

The 6'8" Detroit native is a do-everything player who excels across the board. He is able to score the basketball both inside and outside, rebound effectively and distribute like a point guard despite his size.
