22. Reggie Jackson, Detroit Pistons
Jackson has the ability to be an above-average NBA point guard. He showed flashes as Russell Westbrook‘s backup in OKC before showing out in his first season in Detroit, but fell off considerably last year — with injuries playing a part in that.
There were times where Jackson was legitimately outplayed by Ish Smith, which leaves some serious concerns entering next season. If he isn’t able to regain his form, both as a shooter and a finisher, there’s a chance that his tenure in Detroit comes to an end sooner rather than later.
With an excellent floater game and all the tools needed to be a reliable second or third option scorer, it comes down to whether or not Jackson can piece things together this year. He needs to stay healthy, but also improve his decision making and find a better understanding of what his role is in Stan Van Gundy’s offense.
