6. Josh Jackson — Phoenix Suns

Named to the All-NBA Summer League First Team in Las Vegas, Josh Jackson impressed. While his shooting was erratic at times, he showed off both his toughness and skill. Highlight dunks and blocks took center stage for the Phoenix Suns’ rookie, but he had plenty of finesse as well.

Showing off some advanced NBA footwork and secondary playmaking, Jackson already looks the part of a super role player. His athleticism is just off the charts.

If he can continue to show off the passing ability he flashed in college and Las Vegas, he’ll bring even more value to the Suns. Package that with his intensity and you have yourself a born winner.
