Golden State Warriors: Buy or sell with 10 offseason targets
By Tony Pesta
6. Josh Jackson – Buy
The NBA gave up on Josh Jackson too early. The former lottery pick has been on the road to redemption lately and may have found a home in Memphis.
Before joining the Grizzlies, Jackson’s career was on life support. He had failed to live up to expectations with the Phoenix Suns and was playing for the Grizzlies G-League affiliate until late in the season.
Finally – when given a chance to perform – Jackson played some of the best basketball of his life. In the final 11 games before the seasons’ suspension, Jackson averaged 13.3 points on nearly 50 percent shooting from the floor. His minutes have been limited in the Orlando bubble but he did score 8 points in 13 minutes in his first game back.
Jackson is only in his third season and has plenty of potential at 23 years of age. He won’t be their first option – but Jackson is certainly a player the Golden State Warriors could take a gamble on this offseason.
