There’s no question Frank Jackson has the measurables and athleticism to become an elite-level scorer and solid NBA contributor. But coming off just his first official season, he may remain on the outside looking in when it comes to grabbing a regular rotation spot on this loaded New Orleans Pelicans team.
Jackson possesses and has exhibited next-level speed, finishing ability and perimeter touch in both the G-League and summer league, where he famously exploded for 30 points in just three quarters of action this past July.
Problem is, Jackson struggled during 61 games last season, finishing 86th among 88 qualified point guards in real-plus minus.
