Despite having the least NBA experience of any player on this list, Josh Jackson is probably the most entertaining baller in this starting five. He is a bulldozer in transition, beating opposing players down the court nearly every time.

Jackson is also a terrific defender. His athleticism and long wingspan allow him to pilfer the ball away from opponents and swat away shots at will.

The best part about placing Josh Jackson in this lineup is that there is no pressure on him to score. In this group of five, the majority of the scoring duties will be placed on Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker. Any points that J-Jax picks up will simply be a bonus.
