27. Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns are one of the most exciting young teams in the NBA – that’s a statement that I feel like we’ve been professing for the last handful of years. And that hasn’t exactly panned out for the Suns, unfortunately.

However, adding Josh Jackson could be the one variable that they’ve been missing. There’s no question that the Suns have had solid young draft picks over the last handful of seasons. One thing they haven’t had, though, is the type of prospect that Jackson is. He’s a no doubt top talent.

Jackson may not be ready for a huge role this season, but he could end up being a superstar in this league. That’s not the type of player that the Suns have had in the recent past.
