2017 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: De’Aaron Fox, Jayson Tatum Rise; Jonathan Isaac, Dennis Smith Fall
By Tony Webb
No. 3 Phoenix Suns- Josh Jackson (Kansas, FR, Small Forward)
Jackson solidified his top in the top 3 averaging 16.2 PPG and 8.5 RPG in the tournament. JJ has crazy athleticism, tremendous rebounding skills and can be a terror on the defensive end. His shooting and mid-range game improved vastly throughout the season.
Oregon did give him problems on both ends of the court in the elite eight and he committed 11 turnovers in the tournament.
The off the court issues need to be a non-issue, but it shouldn’t scare any teams away. Phoenix adding Jackson to their young squad gives hope for the future.
