Josh Jackson continues to impress in opening slate of his NBA career
It’s hard to deny Jackson’s impact even this early on. Through the first four preseason games, with T.J. Warren and Devin Booker both missing preseason time, Phoenix’s No. 4 pick Josh Jackson has had a lot of opportunities to learn on the job. After three consecutive games where Jackson had trouble taking care of the ball, in 40 minutes he only had three turnovers this time, a preseason-low. Jackson finished off his night as the team’s number one option on offense with 22 points on 9-19 shooting (0-3 3PT, 4-5 FT). Jackson has averaged 15 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block...

Practice Notebook: Suns show new promising lineup variation; Jackson ready to bring on the challenge of NBA’s elite
Thursday’s observations from Suns media availability. In Tuesday’s preseason opener in Portland against the Trail Blazers, which the Suns came out as winners in a 114-112 comeback, head coach Earl Watson featured a starting lineup of Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker, T.J.

During Thursday’s media availability, again which only lasts a portion of practice, Watson showcased a new...

Portland would trim the advantage to...
