Phoenix: A
#4 Josh Jackson SF FR Kansas
#32 Davon Reed SG/SF SR Miami
#54 Alec Peters PF SR Valparasio
Phoenix addressed their need for an athletic wing when Josh Jackson fell to 4. A few weeks ago, Jackson seemed to be a top 3 lock so Suns fans should be thrilled with this pick. In the second round, they added a potential 3 and D guy with Reed and a potential stretch four with Peters. Peters is a great value and would have been picked higher if he were healthy.
