Among NBA league leaders, the 6-foot-3, 208-pound guard ranked 18th in assists per game (6.0) and T37th in free-throw percentage (.830).

The former Boston College product became the first Pistons player since Grant Hill in 1997-98 to record multiple triple-doubles in a season, recording his first career triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists at Philadelphia (3/18).

Jackson became the fifth player in franchise history to record 20-plus assists (Kevin Porter, Isiah Thomas, Will Bynum, Brandon Jennings) and teamed with Jennings to become the first teammate duo in NBA history to record multiple 20-plus point and 20-plus assist performances in the same season.

Drafted by the Thunder with the 24th overall selection in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, Jackson averaged 13.1 points, 4.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds off the bench during the 2013-14 season. Prior to being inserted into the starting line-up at Charlotte (12/27/13), Jackson was the only player in the NBA to come off the bench and average 12-plus points, three-plus rebounds and three-plus assists. In 30 career playoff games with Oklahoma City, Jackson has averages of 12.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 30.0 minutes per game.

As a junior, Hilliard shared the Big East Most Improved Player award and was Honorable Mention All-Big East. He improved his scoring from 4.8 points per game as a freshman to 11.4 points per game as a sophomore.

Terms of the contracts were not disclosed by the Pistons, but they have been widely reported. Jackson re-upped for a reported five years, $80 million (although sportrac has it at nearly $89.5 million, which might be including incentives). There are no options. Anthony re-signed at a reported two-years, $5 million, with a team option on year two. Hilliard signed a reported three-year deal just over $2.4 million with only about half a mill. guaranteed.

Stanley Johnson is next.
