Phoenix Suns

NBAdraft.net has the Suns taking Jackson with their first-round pick, and I agree that this is the most likely destination. Part of me thinks the Suns will take a chance on Lonzo Ball, but the emergence of Devin Booker means that the guard position is good for a while.

A versatile player who can do it all, on the other hand, is just what this team needs – other than a Center, of course.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the Suns trade this pick, meaning that some other team could have a shot at Jackson.
