Something to bear in mind regarding Jackson is the fact that in 2021 his cap hold is $12 million. So, he either needs to be worth that by then or be a sweetener between now and then.
My observations regarding Jackson are he needs minutes and the freedom to be an important part of the offense to thrive. I observed last season that his per minute production was dramatically better when he got 25 minutes or more and was quite pedestrian when he played less. This season, his two man lineups are horrendous when he’s in with Luka or KP (doesn’t get touches). But, the lineups are quite productive when he plays with Brunson, Wright, Powell or DFS.
I think the Mav’s have a keeper in Jackson, but like most of the rest of the team, they haven’t quite figured out what to do with him yet.
