Justin Jackson after Pistons workout: 'Wasn't ready' for NBA until now
Posted Jun 7, 2017
Justin Jackson’s reasoning for staying at UNC for three seasons? “I knew I wasn’t ready (for the NBA),” Jackson said after working out for the Pistons on Tuesday. “For me, I knew I wasn’t ready mentally, physically, whatever it might have been. Being able to go back to a place like North Carolina and having the types of seasons that I had, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
