Josh Jackson – 39-25-55 shooting. 7.5 points 4.3 rebounds 1.8 steals and .5 blocks.
BAD – Shooting woes are a plenty for these Baby Suns. Jackson has only made 2 of his last 18 threes (11%) and only 11 of his last 24 free throws (46%).
GOOD – His defense is climbing up each game. He is 38th in the entire league with 1.3 steals per game with the 10th most among all SFs. Also, he is quick to stand up for his team mates. Ask Tyler Ulis.

Next: The Phoenix Suns should have Acquired Kyrie Irving

That’s a wrap for this week. Stay tuned next week for more.
