When the Phoenix Suns selected Josh Jackson with the fourth overall pick in 2017, they sold the selection as not only a coup d’etat as former General Manager Ryan McDonough apparently had Josh Jackson snub the Boston Celtics forcing them to pass on Jackson and select Jayson Tatum, but also that Jackson could have been the number one overall pick with the skill-set to be a future Kawhi Leonard-type, a tremendous two-way player.
Eddie Johnson has even at times compared Jackson to Clyde Drexler because of Jackson’s unique shooting style but utter confidence in every shot he attempts.
