Suns nab forward Josh Jackson with 4th overall pick
PHOENIX — Josh Jackson believes the Phoenix Suns got the best player in the draft: Josh Jackson.
The small forward from Kansas who is known for his defense and plays the game with an “edge” was the Suns’ choice with the fourth overall pick Thursday night.
“I don’t think the other guys in this draft really care as much as I do,” Jackson said. “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.”
Jackson joins a Suns team already loaded with youthful talent as the franchise continues the long climb back to relevance.
