2017 NBA Draft Prospects: North Carolina’s Justin Jackson and his long-term value

Junior forward Justin Jackson made the decision to forgo his senior season and putting his name in the 2017 NBA Draft. While the forward may not have the NBA body quite yet, he may have some of the best intangibles in the class.

In fact, he’s fresh off of a national championship victory with the North Carolina Tar Heels over fellow draft prospects Nigel Williams-Goss and Zach Collins of Gonzaga this past April.

Jackson’s 2016-17 college season came with consensus First Team All-American honors, First Team All-ACC honors and ACC Player of the Year honors, which were all back-ended with a championship ring.
