As with Dave’s story from earlier today, I’m starting off with a picture that highlighted a Media Day of yesteryear to show just how much things change in the NBA, and particularly with this franchise. Just last year, media members crowded around Josh Jackson, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton to snap a shot of the trio that was supposed to lead the Suns to the promised land.
As the media descends on Talking Stick Resort Arena on Monday for this year’s event, Jackson is getting ready to begin the year with the Memphis Hustle of the G League.
