Pistons finalizing two-year deal with Josh Jackson

The Pistons, who have been quite busy in the first few hours of free agency, are finalizing a deal with Grizzlies small forward Josh Jackson, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. It’s a two-year deal, according to the Detroit News’ Rod Beard.

Detroit also reportedly reached agreements on Friday with big men Mason Plumlee and Jahlil Okafor.

Jackson, a 2017 lottery pick of the Suns, has had a rocky NBA career. He had a number of off-court issues in his first two NBA seasons, and Phoenix traded him to the Grizzlies last offseason. In an attempt to revive his career and value, Jackson agreed to spend a good portion of last season in the G League.

As the season progressed, Jackson returned to Memphis and appeared in 22 games as a reserve. He averaged 9.0 PPG, 3.0 RPG and 1.6 APG in 17.3 MPG. Jackson has made just 29.8 percent of his three-point attempts during his three-year career.

Jackson, 23, grew up in Michigan and played two high school seasons in Detroit before moving to California for his last two prep years. He’ll compete for minutes against last year’s lottery pick, Sekou Doumbouya, as well as Svi Mykhailiuk and rookie Saddiq Bey.
