Overview
- Multiple reports say Andre Jackson Jr. agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Toronto Raptors to compete for a roster spot in training camp, with one report specifying an Exhibit 10 structure that would funnel him to Raptors 905 if waived.
- Jackson is a 2023 second‑round pick who showed promise earlier in his career but averaged just 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in limited minutes last season and struggled with 32.8 percent shooting.
- Scouts and coverage describe Jackson as an ultra‑athletic, lengthy wing whose primary weakness is inconsistent shooting and whose NBA production has not yet matched his physical tools.
- If he earns a spot he will face a crowded wing rotation featuring Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Jamal Shead, Ja’Kobe Walter, and Gradey Dick, so training camp performance will determine his role.
- Reports note that a potential Kawhi Leonard return to Toronto appears unlikely for now because an NBA probe into Leonard and the Clippers over possible salary‑cap circumvention could extend into 2027 and alter Toronto’s larger roster choices.
