Suns’ defensive improvement hinges on Josh Jackson

Phoenix Suns fans have watched the league’s worst defense for long enough. Lack of talent, lack of discipline and lack of effort have all been hallmarks of a losing team.

And losing they’ve certainly done.

I mean, you can’t celebrate your 50th season as a franchise without getting down by 50-plus in a game at least once, can you?

Over the last three of years of losing at a 73% clip, the Suns have sunk from the league’s fourth-winningest franchise all the way down to seventh. Think about that — it’s only taken three seasons OUT OF 50 to plummet the team’s reputation to depths never before experienced in its storied history.
