No. 3 Phoenix Suns: SF/SG Josh Jackson

School: Kansas

Position: Small Forward/Shooting Guard

Size: 6'8"/207 pounds

Class: Freshman

Outlook: Dick Vitale is a huge fan of Jackson's game. “Really like Josh Jackson and his ability to penetrate," Vitale told Heavy. Jackson has had a difficult month. With Duke's Jayson Tatum on his heels, he could really use a great March Madness run. Jackson was suspended for Kansas' first game in the Big 12 tournament. The Jayhawks lost the game, and it could have cost the Jayhawks a number one seed. Luckily, Kansas still landed on the top line, but NBA teams will have questions about Jackson's maturity. A nice NCAA tournament run could help teams forget the incident a little easier. What we do know about Jackson is he is a dynamic scorer and well-rounded player. He's fiercely competitive and will be able to help a team right away. (Getty)
