No matter what anyone thinks of the Phoenix Suns selections in the second round of the draft, the pick of the Kansas Jayhawks’ Josh Jackson at #4 overall guarantees the Suns a perfect grade.
The addition of Miami’s Davon Reed and Valparaiso’s Alec Peters in the second round even got some good reviews after people had a chance to think about it a bit.
Let’s see what the internets think.

Obviously, A+ is the highest grade you can give a team. He even likes the Davon Reed pick!
