HOW HE OPERATES

Outside of Phoenix’s impending decision on whether it will select DeAndre Ayton or Luka Doncic with the top overall pick, Jaren Jackson Jr. has forced a second, spirited debate: Should he be selected before Duke’s Marvin Bagley III? The two players have very similar skill sets.

Jackson is a classic big with upgrades. His most-used action? Spot-up shooting, by far. He took spot up shots on the offensive end 24 percent of the time.
