Dallas Mavericks: Justin Jackson talks about his favorite players and more

Dallas Mavericks wing Justin Jackson did a Q&A on the team’s official twitter where he shared plenty about himself for fans to enjoy.

Dallas Mavericks fans only had 29 games with Justin Jackson last season. The 2017 first round pick was traded to Dallas in the Harrison Barnes deal. Jackson performed well over his time with the Mavs.

The 24-year-old is hoping for an expanded role in his third pro season. Jackson shot 48.4 percent from the field and 37.2 percent on his 3-pointers during his stint in Dallas. That shooting ability could help space the floor for the Mavericks in either unit next season.
