In the world of ASOIAF, kings are a bad idea. Partly this is because one can't really be said to be deserve to be king. Even if someone was demonstrably a good king (or queen; queens are bad, too) they could go nuts and start burning things. Most of Westerosi history is made up of bad kings and a minor agenda of the story seems to be to enumerate just how many kinds of there can be and how unlikely it is that someone with the right blood and capable of kingly judgment would be able to survive the murderous political reality.
That said, Jon is a pretty sweet package: diplomat, swordsman and warg, with secretly very right blood and a self-legitimizing tendency among black brothers and free folk alike. He's someone men can follow, girls will scratch each other's eyes out to lie with, and who has shed the boy to become an honest leader willing to do what seems right even when it costs him dearly. Assuming, hypothetically, the show's continuation of events, I do wonder how the South will view his reason for deserting the Night's Watch. The North is desperate for unifying leadership and so it's understandable that, at least temporarily, nobody is asking why it's fine that he deserted the Night's Watch. I'm not sure the answer, "because he died" will hold up to scrutiny. Westeros could do worse than Jon Snow for a king. One might even ask, does Westeros deserve him?
Book version of Jon Snow: "yes", TV version: "no"

Ok fine. My final answer is: Nope.
