With only about 80 hours until the 2018 NBA Draft, the rumor mill is churning and Sean Deveney of the Sporting News added considerable fuel to the fire surrounding the Atlanta Hawks on Monday morning. In the midst of a piece highlighting a number of factors up and down the draft board, the notion came to light that the Hawks could be souring on Michigan State big man Jaren Jackson Jr., to the point that he may be “ruled out” by Atlanta.
There are fears that Jackson is soft, and word is that Atlanta has ruled out drafting Jackson with the third pick.
