Right after the Phoenix Suns got their top prospect on the board, Josh Jackson, he spoke about what separates him most compared to the other top names in the 2017 draft.

“I think my versatility, just my competitive spirit,” Jackson said in Brooklyn, New York at the draft following his selection. “I don’t think the other guys in this draft really care as much as I do. I don’t think they play as hard as I do, period. I think that’s what really makes me special. I refuse to fail, period.”

That relentless desire to be great has been on full display throughout his first few months in a Suns uniform.
