Suns make Josh Jackson the fourth overall pick in the draft

The Phoenix Suns have selected Kansas Jayhawks forward Josh Jackson with the fourth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

What It Means:

After one season at Kansas, as the team's second-leading scorer, Jackson joins a young Suns team stacked with scorers. He will likely immediately slot into the small forward position and become the team's best defender.

Jackson averaged 16.3 points per game while posting a 96.0 defensive rating and 5.7 defensive box plus/minus for the Jayhawks last season.
