Reggie Jackson

Reggie Jackson should be off the market.

He’s a solid backup point option. He can shoot; he can defend, and he can lead. Jackson has averaged over ten points per game in his last seven seasons. Along those lines, Jackson is a feisty defender.

He was added to the Clippers last season and made a tremendous impact. He shot over 41 percent from deep for them in the regular season. He stepped up even more in 12 postseason games, shooting over 53 percent from deep.

Jackson helped keep the Clippers in games as the team was better with him on the court. He thrived alongside Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. For the Warriors, he’d give them a steady option behind Curry. He’d be a more trustworthy option than Wanamaker.

Jackson, along with a handful of other players, would be worth the cost, but given his shooting, he should be able to secure a nice deal elsewhere as well.
