Two years ago, Josh Jackson was a fourth overall pick coming onto a Phoenix Suns team that saw him as a potential cornerstone to their rebuild. Then, as he’s coming to the end of his rookie contract, the Suns deal him, De’Anthony Melton, and a few picks to the Memphis Grizzlies for Jevon Carter and Kyle Korver.
Jackson was part of a huge crop of small forwards for the Grizzlies this summer, and everyone knew that not all of them could end up on the team.
