The Dallas Mavericks traded for Justin Jackson at the deadline in 2019. They were looking to get off of Harrison Barnes’ player option for this season which he eventually declined to sign a long-term deal with the Kings. Jackson offered a young talent that was the leading scorer on a team that won the NCAA Championship in 2017.
His time in Dallas has been up and down so far. Jackson played well after the trade last season. He shot 48.4 percent from the field and 37.2 percent on his 3-pointers. There was hope that he could transform into a 3-and-D forward that provides steady minutes off the bench.
