Toronto Raptors: Is Justin Jackson worth trading back into the draft?

Justin Jackson out of the University of Maryland is someone the Raptors should consider trading/buying back into the 2018 NBA draft for. He just turned 21 years old and has elite measurements for a modern NBA forward.

Jackson measured 6’6.75” (in shoes) with a 7’3” wingspan and 8’9” standing reach at last month’s draft combine. This is slightly shorter than he measured at the combine a year ago (6’7”, 7’3.25” and 8’11” respectively).

Jackson played two seasons at Maryland. During his freshman season, he averaged 10.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 43.
