Top 30 Seasons Under Bill Self: #23 Josh Jackson 2017

Kansas has had its fair share of one and done disappointments, but one player who probably exceeded expectations was Josh Jackson. After a rough season opener against Indiana, Jackson reeled off 11 straight double digit scoring efforts, including 15 points on 6-7 shooting in a win over Duke in the Champions Classic.

Most surprising about Jackson was his outside shooting. Despite his messed up shooting motion (that is a technical term), Jackson shot 37.8 percent from three on 90 attempts. He was also efficient inside the arc, shooting 54.9 percent from two. But he struggled from the free throw line, shooting just 57 percent, which suggests that hot three point shooting was just a mirage.
