"The 24-year-old was originally selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by Charlotte before being traded to New Orleans on draft night. He entered the NBA following one season at Duke University where he averaged 10.9 points and helped the Blue Devils to an ACC Tournament title. Born in Washington D.C. before attending high school in Highland, Utah, Jackson was Co-MVP of the 2016 McDonald’s All-American Game.

"A native of Cannes, France, the 27-year-old regularly represents his native country in international competition. Earlier this month, he helped France to a silver-medal finish at FIBA EuroBasket 2022.
