Nine former North Carolina basketball players take on the 2017 NBA Summer League

Posted Aug 23, 2017
Justin Jackson stood out. The Sacramento Kings forward topped all former Tar Heels with 16.7 points per game in six contests in the 2017 NBA Summer League. While Jackson’s team struggled to a 2-4 record in Las Vegas, he was a bright spot and continued to show his aggressiveness as a shooter. Any doubt that his floater could fall in the NBA was answered.
