Jackson, Justin  North Carolina 6'8" 201 SF jr. Jackson is a smooth wing player that was the 2016-17 ACC Player of the Year. He averaged 18.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. He is really trustworthy with the ball. He rarely turns it over for as many touches as he gets. His 1.9-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio is a number you might expect from a point guard. ...Jackson shot 37% 3-pt FG. He made 74.8% of his foul shots. ...Jackson is a player that has improved gradually each season, raising his scoring and rebounding numbers. That said, he is not a good rebounder from a rebounds per-minute standpoint. ...His DEFRTG was 5.3 points worse than the UNC team DEFRTG (and that worries us a bit). His wingspan is 6'11" (same as Andrew Wiggins, and Taurean Prince). ...Jackson jumped a 35.5" max. vert at the NBA Draft Combine (same as Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.) ...Jackson, despite his junior status, is already 22 years-old. ...I see an improving player in Jackson. If he can gain strength, and really put his mind to toughening up as a defender and rebounder, he will be an NBA starter for many years. If he never gets tougher he will still be a fine player on offense. 

Good Advice: In 2012, the 22nd pick in the NBA Draft was Fab Melo. We advised, "Draft Draymond Green."
