16. Demetrius Jackson

Age: 21
Position: PG
School/Country: Notre Dame
Height: 6-2
Weight: 194 pounds

I’ve never made it a secret regarding my feelings on Demetrius Jackson. The Notre Dame guard is one of the most explosive players in this draft in regards to his athleticism and his aggression.

Jackson had a great three years with the Fighting Irish and is now going to the next level. While he still needs polishing as he makes the jump to the pro game and will need to stay under control, his physical tools and skills spell him ultimately being able to make an impact on some team.

15. Domantas Sabonis

Age: 20
Position: PF
School/Country: Gonzaga
Height: 6-10
Weight: 231 pounds

Another player that there haven’t been any secrets made regarding my feelings towards them is former Gonzaga big man Domantas Sabonis. Right now, Sabonis may be the most skilled traditional big man in the NBA Draft. Though his upside may be more limited, that counts for something.

Sabonis averaged 17.5 points and 11.8 rebounds as a sophomore last season and showed that he can not only get his shot at the rim, but also step back and hit jumpers from the mid-range in addition to grabbing boards. As such, Sabonis should be highly valued going forward.
