Ryan McDonough didn’t want to discuss specific individuals, but the Suns general manager did say this:
There’s no prospect in Phoenix’s range at No. 4 that the organization has removed from consideration for Thursday's NBA draft because of off-court issues.
That means Josh Jackson – if available – remains a solid option for the Suns. The Kansas small forward is considered among the draft’s top players, but he also was involved in two off-court incidents during his one college season in Lawrence.
In May, Jackson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of striking an unattended vehicle after he backed into a car on campus and left without providing contact information.
