Another report circulated that the Lakers apparently promised Jackson they would take him.
Josh Jackson has been promised - has worked out for Lakers in LA. Has not worked out for Phoenix yet. It could be Philly but likely Lakers.

Furthermore, Jackson has cancelled a workout with the Celtics -- who own the first overall pick.

Just a few weeks ago, most projected Markelle Fultz to go first overall to the Celtics and Lonzo Ball to go second overall to the Lakers. The Sixers were the odds on favorite to land Jackson with the third pick.
