Forward: Josh Jackson

After a disastrous start for the rookie out of Kansas, Josh Jackson turned things around at the start of 2018.

Jackson’s improvement has been well documented. As he started to look like one of the best players in his draft class once the calendar hit January. He should be given more of an opportunity to grow as a starter.

For a team that was lost on defense, Jackson was one of the few who showed up on that end.

Of the players on the team who played 60 or more games, Jackson was third on the team in defensive win shares and deflections.

The Suns need that moving forward in addition to his promising scoring chops.
