What If The Los Angeles Lakers Signed Josh Jackson?

Last season, he played in 51 games for the Pistons and Kings, and averaged 6.4 points, 2.8 rebonds and 1.1 assists per game. 

Why The Lakers?

Jackson is still just 25-years-old, so there is a case to be made that he is not a finished product in the NBA just yet.

While he is already seen as a bust, he could still turn into a very solid role player if utilized correctly. 

The Lakers have no cap space, so they have to be able to add players on bargain deals, and Jackson would fit that mold. 

They could bring him in for training camp, and let him compete for a roster spot. 

There is no question that Jackson can score the ball, but his efficiency has been very poor. 

In 291 games, he has a solid career average of 11.1 points per game, but it's also on 41.6% shooting from the field and less than 30% shooting from the three-point range. 

If he can be given a role off the bench for a few minutes a game, he could be very productive player. 

Last season, the Lakers were 33-49 and finished as the 11th seed in the Western Conference. 

Therefore, they missed the NBA Playoffs, so they clearly need to find help in many ways. 

Jackson is young, and could be a player that really helps a team (like the Lakers).
