Report: Josh Jackson holding private workout with Sixers today

By Brandon Apter, Sports Talk Philly editor

The Philadelphia 76ers held their first top draft prospect workout on Thursday as Malik Monk went through a private workout with the team. On Saturday, Monk's teammate De'Aaron Fox will be in Philadelphia for a workout. With under a week until the draft, they still have some time to visit with some of the top talent and it seems as if they are doing just that. According to a report, team representatives are in Sacramento for a private workout with Josh Jackson on Friday.

Jackson is regarded by many as the best pick for the Sixers, if they do indeed stay at the number three spot in the draft and he doesn't get picked by Boston or Los Angeles. He's an elite defender, has a phenomenal work ethic and although his shot leaves much to be desired, he can be used at a variety of different spots on the court. His natural position is small forward, but some believe Jackson could play the two or four.

Last season at the University of Kansas, Jackson averaged 16.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, shooting 51.3 percent from the floor and 37.8 percent from beyond the arc.

The 2017 NBA Draft will take place on June 22 at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York.
