3. Phoenix Suns Select Josh Jackson, SF, Kansas
Age: 20 (February 10, 1997)
Size: 6-foot-8, 207 pounds
After raising some off-the-court questions marks when he received a one-game suspension during the Big 12 tournament, Jackson is doing himself a lot of favors in the Big Dance. He tallied 23 points with two steals and two blocks against likely lottery pick Miles Bridges and Michigan State, then followed that up with 15 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, four steals and a block in a drubbing of Purdue.
He can score from all three levels, he's electric in the open-court, he's a fantastic passer, and perhaps most importantly, he can be a high-level impact guy defensively. Simply put, he's a playmaker on both ends of the court, and he at least belongs in the conversation for the No. 2 pick. The Suns, a team that could especially use him on the defensive end, would be glad to get him here. (Getty)
