All three players were reserves for their teams
last year.
Plumlee, 30, averaged 7.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists
in 61 games (one start) for the Denver Nuggets last season. In
his seven-year NBA career, which has included stints with the
Brooklyn Nets, Portland Trail Blazers and Denver, he has career
averages of 8.3 points and 6.2 rebounds.
Plumlee, a 2013-first round draft pick by the Nets out of Duke,
has two brothers who have played in the NBA, Miles and Marshall.
However, neither Miles nor Marshall appeared in the 2019-20
season.
Okafor, another Duke product, put up 8.1 points and 4.2 rebounds
in 30 games (nine starts) for the New Orleans Pelicans last
season, down from his career norms of 11 and five. The
24-year-old started his NBA career with the Philadelphia 76ers,
who made him a first-round pick in 2015, and he subsequently
played for the Nets before spending the past two seasons in New
Orleans.
Jackson, 23, was a first-round pick of the Suns in 2017, and he
played two seasons in Phoenix before he was with the Memphis
Grizzlies in 2019-20. He averaged career lows of nine points and
three boards last season, lowering his career marks to 11.9 and
4.3, respectively. Jackson also appeared in the G League in
2019-20.
