Two Wildcats projected in top 35 of ESPN’s latest NBA Mock Draft

Isaiah Jackson fell one spot while BJ Boston moved up one in ESPN’s latest NBA mock draft released Tuesday afternoon.

Following the NBA’s tiebreaker drawing to finalize the pre-lottery order, ESPN’s Jonathan Givony released his revised mock draft, with Jackson going No. 12 overall to the San Antonio Spurs and Boston selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder at No. 35 overall.

Jackson would join former Kentucky forwards Keldon Johnson and Trey Lyles in San Antonio, with the Spurs expected to “likely be in the market” for a franchise center.

“The Spurs will likely be in the market for a starting-caliber center to build around long term, and Jackson could very well pique their interest,” Givony said of the Kentucky standout.
