Despite a fantasy-friendly skill set, Jackson hasn't established himself as a consistent asset in fantasy or reality. After putting together two intriguing seasons, Jackson's role during the 2023-24 season was reduced, limiting him to just 13.3 minutes per game. He closed with per-game averages of 6.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, resulting in him being a non-factor outside of deeper fantasy formats. On paper, there is a chance he could be the primary backup behind Myles Turner this upcoming season, potentially landing him a meaningful role for the first time in his career. However, he will likely be competing with James Wiseman and even Obi Toppin, both of whom will also be looking to prove themselves. Given the uncertainty, Jackson does not warrant a draft pick in a standard league. Managers should simply keep an eye on Jackson's playing time over the first week or two, just in case he carves out a regular backup role.
