Euroleague transfer rumors: Nikola Mirotic, John Wall, Jabari Parker and more

Tony Parker and his brother TJ are putting together a strong team with Edwin Jackson as their newest addition

Some players you just look at their career and it’s apparent right away that they simply love playing basketball. Edwin Jackson is one of those players.

Jackson has reportedly signed with LDLC ASVEL, becoming their newest addition alongside Paris Lee and former Sixers Mike Scott and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.

Jackson began his professional career with ASVEL back in 2007, and this will be his third return to the club after spending most of last season in Spain’s lower divisions with CB Menorca where he averaged 18.2ppg on 46/31/85 splits.

It’ll be interesting to see what Jackson, now 33 years old, can provide at the Euroleague level.

Likely, TJ Parker sees Jackson as a bench option who can provide them some off-the-dribble creation when former Euroleague MVP and San Antonio Spurs guard Nando De Colo, now 36 years old, rests. Something they desperately lacked last season.

Lee, De Colo, Jackson, Luwawu-Cabarrot, Scott, and Lauvergne will likely be aiming to show that experience is a plus in a league as competitive as Euroleague and hopefully qualify for the playoff’s.
