When the Detroit Pistons signed Josh Jackson they were taking a flyer on a high-ceiling talent who might have needed a change of scenery to thrive.
It was a smart move, as Jackson was a top-five pick, is still very young and the Detroit Pistons weren’t trying to win anyway, so there was nothing to lose.
Jackson had his best season as a pro, averaging 13.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists mostly off the bench. He had some big games for the Detroit Pistons and emerged as their most reliable bench option.
