Player Profile: Jackson Simmons
Posted Oct 24, 2013
The question regarding Jackson Simmons going into this season is how much time will he see given UNC has added two freshmen interior players in Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks? Probably not as much as a season ago. Simmons doesn't have the same physical gifts as more touted players. What he lacks there he certainly makes up for with his understanding of the game.
