JFK enters the draft amid a massive level of hype. He's the son of legendary streetball legend Joe Kennedy, and has been groomed for superstardom since he was old enough to hold a ball. He's got the tools to be an all-around star, and if he's able to realize that potential he may develop into an all-league caliber wing.
The problem with Kennedy has been his inconsistency. He was expected to take college basketball by storm last year, but opened up his season with a disastrous showing at the Bay of Pigs Invitational and following that with a tumultuous season filled with highs and lows. One night he may dunk over Richard Nixon, and the next he's shrinking from the moment against J. Edgar Hoover. He's got a great shooting form but was far too streaky, and scouts note that they have never seen a player struggle more with letting tough shots get into his head. There are also concerns about a lack of focus, as he is a notorious partier and skirt-chaser who is highly susceptible to the trappings of fame.
The consensus is that Kennedy has one of the heighest ceilings in the class, but the bust potential is strong.
