Sports Illustrated UNC Basketball Preview
Posted Nov 3, 2016
If Justin Jackson can improve his long-range efficiency, he will instantly become UNC’s most complete scoring threat. He made 300 to 400 shots daily during the summer, taking care to repeat his motion and to put more arc on his shot. He also ate six meals a day and went from 193 pounds at the NBA draft combine in May to 210 by the first practice in October.
