Justin Jackson – Oklahoma City Thunder

One guy that has not received a ton of recognition this year is Justin Jackson. He is in his first season with the Oklahoma City Thunder and is in the final year of his contract, making him a viable low-cost trade target for any team in the league. 

While he mainly comes off the bench for the Thunder, Justin Jackson has been really consistent and solid all year long, averaging 7.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and shooting 41.8% from the floor, 30.5% from three-point range. The 6’8” forward has a lot of qualities to him that could make him an intriguing trade target for the Nuggets. 

Not only can he play both forward positions, but his long frame gives him the potential to be a really solid two-way wing, much like Michael Porter Jr. He is not a high-level scorer and is not that explosive with the ball in his hands, but Justin Jackson is a really sound offensive player and is more than capable of being a really solid contributor off-the-bench.

There have been no talks of whether or not he is available from Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Nuggets could potentially get him for a draft pick and/or a young talent. With him only being owed $5M this season and no long-term liability attached to him, he is an excellent bench option for the Nuggets to potentially target at the trade deadline this year. 

Justin Jackson can spread the court, knock down shots from the perimeter and be a threat to score in the paint, which is exactly what the Nuggets need from their forwards.
