Draft Projection: Top 15

Justin Jackson may not have big name attached to him, but he does a little bit of everything. Sometimes, you just need a player that comes in and does a little of it all. Jackson isn’t the best three-point shooter, but shot 37 percent during his junior season at UNC. Jackson isn’t the best defender or rebounder, but works his tail off and can hang with the best of them on that end of the floor. He averaged five boards per game last season.

He’s also not the best playmaker, but averaged roughly three helpers per game on a team full of NBA talent. Often times, he looked like the best player on the floor for the NCAA Championship North Carolina Tar Heels. That’s impressive.

What The Experts Say:

"[via The Step Back] One season of lethal shooting could be construed as an aberration, but all indications point to Justin Jackson, the marksman, being here to stay."
