3. Phoenix Suns Select Josh Jackson, SF, Kansas
Year: Freshman
Falling to the 3 spot might actually be the best-case scenario for the Suns. Already boasting a talented backcourt in Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis, they now won't be tempted by one of the top two point guards and can instead go with Jackson, who fits into the starting lineup much easier.
The 6-foot-8 athletic wing would immediately give the NBA's fourth-worst defensive team a difference-maker on that end of the court, while his offensive game could be given time to grow thanks to the presence of scorers like Bledsoe, Booker and TJ Warren. (Getty)
