Ten most dangerous scorers heading into the 2017 NCAA Tournament

Luke Kennard NBA draft

Josh Jackson, guard, Kansas

Jackson is the second Jayhawk on this list and he’s looking up to Mason III on Kansas’ scoring chart. With that said, the freshman — a former five-star — is still averaging 16.5 points per game, and he has proven to be a fearless scorer for being as young as he is.

Young players don’t always thrive in Bill Self’s system, and the Big 12 is an extremely tough league in general. But Jackson has found a way to put up 22 against Kansas State and West Virginia, 23 against then-No. 2 Baylor and 31 on the road at Texas Tech.

And it’s not just the numbers for Jackson, it’s the way he plays the game on offense. He’s as able to knock down a huge three as he is to bring down the house with a monster dunk.
