Tuesday's Suns Links: Demetrius Jackson hoping to stand out

Recent Phoenix Suns predraft workouts enjoy local flavor: It’s not every day the NBA team in your hometown calls requesting a workout. But twice now in the past three days, that’s exactly what happened to a pair of former local high school standouts who are pondering pro careers after graduating from college. -- ArizonaSports.com

Betty Fairfax grad Stacy Davis works out for Suns: Stacy Davis’ visit to Talking Stick Resort Arena on Monday was special because it was his first NBA pre-draft workout and a homecoming for the former Tolleson High and Laveen Betty Fairfax High star. But donning Suns gear did not register with the Pepperdine forward like it would for most local products. -- The Arizona Republic

Suns host Notre Dame's Jackson: Most of Demetrius Jackson’s game and approach at Notre Dame was about making teammates better while deflecting credit as the consummate captain. With the NBA draft coming June 23, Jackson was in Phoenix on Monday for his first team workout with hopes of standing out. Jackson will not do so with height, measuring 6 feet 1 at the draft combine, but his speed, strength, athleticism and pick-and-roll play can make up for it. -- The Arizona Republic
