Aaron

Jackson

Jackson is a free agent, and plans on exploring his options this offseason. He averaged 7.2 points and 3.1 assists during the 2014-15 Euroleague season, so he’s not likely to be a relevant fantasy option if he makes the jump to the NBA.

Jackson had reportedly drawn some interest from several NBA teams, but it looks like he’ll remain in Europe. He may or may not eventually make his way to the NBA, but he wouldn’t be much more than a backup at the NBA level, meaning he’s unlikely to ever have any sort of fantasy value in standard leagues.

Maybe this means the Rockets are going to rest players, or maybe not. Either way, Jackson isn’t in your fantasy system for tonight anyway. Andre Ingram 2.0 would be cool, though.

The Rockets signed Jackson to a rest-of-season deal earlier in the day, as they prepared to field a roster without Chris Paul, James Harden or Eric Gordon. It’s a nice story for Jackson, a journeyman who has played in China and for CSKA Moscow, but this is probably the last you’ll hear about him.

The Rockets announced they signed Gary Clark and Vincent Edwards, so Jackson was the odd man out. Jackson wasn’t on the Las Vegas roster, and he is likely to play in China next year.

Jackson’s salary is set at $1.4 million. Houston would need to guarantee it in order to include him in a potential trade. This could be important if the Rockets are involved in a deal and need salary filler. However, it’s unlikely Jackson makes the Rockets opening night roster next season.
