3 Raptors free agent PG targets after Dennis Schroder snub

1. Frank Jackson

It’s really surprising to me that Jackson has not been signed. While he may have benefitted from playing on a very weak Pistons team, averaging double digits in the NBA is nothing to joke around about. Jackson has proven that he is worth a spot in the pros purely from an offensive point of view.

In his two seasons in Detroit, Jackson averaged 10.2 points per game on 42/34/83 shooting splits. Is he lacking in certain areas? Without a doubt. That’s why teams keep passing on him. Still, one would figure that scoring that consistently for two years would be worth a longer look.

Will the Toronto Raptors acquire Frank Jackson?

Let’s say that the Raptors find a way to offload a contract like that of Khem Birch. Let’s say they are confident enough in Christian Koloko that they choose not to sign another center. Why wouldn’t Jackson be worth a look? He’s just 24 years old and has most of his best basketball in the windshield.

He’s more ball-dominant than you’d like a point guard to be in Nurse’s offense, and he only has one season of elite 3-point shooting production. Even with those concerns, Jackson could be a few tweaks away from potentially usurping one of the Banton/Flynn duo in minutes should everything fall his way.
