NBA Mock Draft 2017: Updated Projections as Playoffs Start

2. Phoenix Suns: Josh Jackson, SF, Kansas


Age: 20 (February 10, 1997)


Size: 6-foot-8, 207 pounds


Lonzo Ball is typically regarded as the No. 2 overall prospect behind Fultz, but Jackson, a future defensive star who improved his shooting dramatically over the last couple months, is certainly a part of the conversation. Deciding between the two becomes a lot easier if this pick ultimately goes to the Suns, who already have a star backcourt in Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker but could use a two-way difference maker after finishing 28th in the NBA in defensive rating.
