He was the fifth-best scorer on ASVEL's roster. In his highest-scoring game, Jackson dropped 25 points against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul.

In the French league, Jackson posted averages of 10.0 points (60% 2FG, 38.6% 3FG), 0.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and an efficiency rating (EFF) of 6.7.

Over five years with the New Orleans Pelicans, Detroit Pistons, and Utah Jazz, Jackson maintained an average of 8.5 points across 214 NBA games.

Per the rules, he will be ineligible for another EuroLeague team until December 30.
