Sam Jacobson, at a legitimate 6'6, 210 lbs. will be a big off guard in the NBA with the ability to also swing to wing forward. A senior, Jacobson was well-coached for four years at Minnesota by Clem Haskins. He is one of the more complete players in the draft. He's a guy who has good athletic ability and on occasion can really stroke the shot. An off guard who can get in with the big boys and rebound. He was a true leader for Minnesota and can take over games at times. Has a variety of ways to get to the basket and finish, and has the size to get inside. His outside shot keeps the defenders honest. Not wasting a lot of energy, Jacobson is an efficient scorer and clutch performer. Played great this year in the NIT for Minnesota to win it. Team made the Final Four a year ago. He knows how to play the game, and therefore, I believe he can make an immediate impact in the NBA and surpass a lot of guys who will be drafted before him, such as a Toby Bailey or Miles Simon. Has a knack for staying in control, despite all his moves and fallaway shots, and never puts up a bad shot. Should be a solid backup his rookie year with a great opportunity to be a starter in the future. Watching his play will make you a believer. Right now, he's a late 1st or early 2nd round pick. But whoever takes him will have a big off guard who will be ready for NBA play. I have him as the 2nd or 3rd best off guard in the draft, yet I haven't seen Bonzi Wells play, who is ranked ahead of him. |

Decent player. That may be damning with faint praise. He can shoot well, including from three-point range, but is probably not going to be able to take over a game in the NBA. I say this despite the fact that he scored over 20 points for something like five straight games this year. He can drive the ball occasionally, but probably cannot be depended upon to create his own shot much. Defensively, he is adequate, but his lateral quickness has been questioned and he will probably never be known as a defensive stopper. Basically, I see him as a very good supporting player, but probably not someone that you want to build your team around. In the right system, he will be able to provide some points either in the starting line-up or off the bench as long as he is not the first offensive option for his team. You are probably not going to go wrong taking Jacobson toward the end of the first round. He is solid in all aspects of his game, though not really outstanding in any of them. He should at least provide his team with some solid minutes at back-up shooting guard (his best position) or small forward, and may, with hard work, have the potential to blossom into a quality player like former Gopher Voshon Leonard. |
