NBA draft next step in Justin Jackson's year to remember
Posted Jun 17, 2017
Justin Jackson's decision to return to UNC for his junior year paid off when he and the Tar Heels won the NCAA Championship in April. Jackson had gone from a home-schooled star in Houston to the ACC Player of the Year. Weeks later, he proposed to his girlfriend Brooke Copeland. By June, he had realistic hopes that he will be chosen in the NBA Draft lottery.
