The San Diego, Calif., native was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the fourth overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft. He has played in 291 career NBA games (92 starts) with Phoenix, Sacramento, Detroit and the Memphis Grizzlies.

The 6-foot-8, 207-pound forward starred in his one year at the University of Kansas, where he averaged 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and three assists, earning All-Big 12 First Team honours and was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year.

The terms of the deal with the Raptors have not been disclosed, hinting at the likelihood that Jackson is being invited to camp on a non-guaranteed deal to fight for one of the final roster spots.
