Demetrius Jackson
PG, 6’1, 201lbs, 22 years old, 1 year of experience
Cannot read anything into the 17 meagre NBA minutes he played, rightfully spending most of the year on assignment at the Red Claws. However, it was not a particularly impressive rookie D-League season for a 22 year old lead guard. Jackson is still projectable as a change-of-pace role playing guard, but the three-point line needs to become easier for him.
Player Plan: Partially guaranteed minimum salary contract, signed through 2019. Probably worthy of one more year to prove himself and develop under NBA coaching, but if his roster spot is needed elsewhere, it is not likely to be a consequential loss. [NB: with a $650,000 guarantee, waiving him, even utilising the stretch provision, would open up negligible cap room, so there is little financial incentive to waiving him.]
