Kentucky Wildcats forward Isaiah Jackson will remain in the 2021 NBA Draft, he announced Friday.
As a true freshman, the 6-foot-10 Jackson averaged 8.4 points on 54% shooting with 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in just 20.7 minutes per contest. Jackson staying in the draft was a move that everyone knew was inevitable, especially later into the season when he reached double figures in six-straight games and had his only two double-doubles during that stretch.
At the beginning of the season, not many NBA mock drafts had Jackson being drafted.
