LAS VEGAS -- During the second half of Sunday's NBA Summer League game between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns, fans at the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus got the matchup they wanted, as No. 4 overall pick Josh Jackson of Phoenix began guarding Dallas point guard Dennis Smith Jr., drafted ninth.
Jackson did a much better job defending Smith than the first two players the summer Suns tried, second-year wing Derrick Jones Jr. and second-round pick Davon Reed. But ultimately, Smith got the best of him to complete an efficient 25-point performance.
