Justin Jackson among 10 best Sweet 16 NBA Draft prospects
Posted Mar 23, 2017
6. Justin Jackson, North Carolina: It seems like the Tar Heels have one guy every year that blossoms into a star. This was Jackson's year to do so, as he went from inconsistent role player into team leader, scoring 18.2 points and grabbing 4.8 rebounds per game. Jackson shot 50 percent from the field and 39 percent on 3s. He might not be a lottery pick, but he's a first-rounder.
