Tar Heels find offensive help in Justin Jackson

Posted Oct 24, 2014
UNC may not have an established shooter to go alongside Marcus Paige, but the Tar Heels seem to know who’s going to get the first crack at it: freshman Justin Jackson. Jackson, a 6 foot 8 small forward, was named the fifth starter for UNC’s exhibition against Fayetteville State on Friday. Roy Williams said he knew he would start Jackson a few days before, and Jackson didn’t disappoint. (Greensboro News & Record)
