Frank Jackson was the 31st overall pick in the 2017 draft. Originally selected by Charlotte, Jackson was traded to the Pels for Dwayne Bacon (40th pick) and cash considerations.
Unfortunately, as you may have heard, Jackson suffered a right foot fracture (fifth metatarsal), and after undergoing surgery, he is still expected to miss 3-4 months, so it is unlikely we will see him in action this year.
