Josh Jackson is another in a long line of failed first round picks
Even if Josh Jackson had not gotten himself in trouble in Florida, the Phoenix Suns were still looking at yet another failed first round pick.
First round picks are a gamble, no matter what the team and where they are selecting.
Talent is nearly impossible to truly grade in most cases, and one must look at all players taken in the NBA Draft as a lottery ticket: you hope to win the jackpot; (depending on where they are selecting) you hope to win a few bucks; you are okay if you only break even; and only in sports and not in a Circle K, you are really upset if you lose money on the purchase.
