Kentucky freshman forward Isaiah Jackson will enter his name into the NBA Draft, according to a report by CatsPause.com.
Jackson’s father told The Cats’ Pause that Jackson will go through the draft process but leave open the option to return to Kentucky for a sophomore season.
“We’re going through the process, and the process starts with putting your name in the draft,” Jackson said. “We’re at the beginning. You can’t get this wrong. You have to get as much information as you can, process it, and pray on it. I want him to go through all the steps. We’re at the beginning. He hasn’t made his mind up go or stay, and we haven’t hired an agent. We came into this thinking 2-3 years not knowing he would flourish, so when people are talking lottery pick, you have to consider it.”
Jackson started 18 of 25 games this season while averaging 8.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.6 blocked shots.
