Isaiah Jackson is No. 11 in ESPN’s latest mock draft and prospect rankings, adding to the buzz he could be a lottery pick. Mike Schmitz, who worked with Jonathon Givony on the projections, recently Zoom’d with Jackson to break down his film and show why he could be, in Schmitz’s terms, “the perfect big in today’s NBA.”
The two go in-depth on Jackson’s game, reviewing clips of his time at Kentucky and in high school, talking about what makes him special as a defender and how he can improve on offense. They also discuss how he compares to Bam Adebayo and Robert Williams at the NBA level.
