According to ESPN’s Chad Ford, Boston is considering taking Kansas wing Josh Jackson with the top pick in the draft, which will happen in about a week. The source is an NBA GM who says he has “picked Danny’s brain for years,” referencing Celtics GM Danny Ainge. The source went on to note that Jackson is the type of player that Ainge loves: athletic, energetic, big, and tough.
Naturally, this could all be a smokescreen, but in case it’s true, let’s theorize on how the Philadelphia 76ers can take the consensus top prospect, Markelle Fultz.
