Entering the 2017-18 college basketball season, Justin Jackson was pegged as a lottery pick by multiple outlets. With the 2018 NBA Draft taking place Thursday night, the Maryland basketball product has fallen to a projected fringe second-round selection.
After testing the process last offseason, quietly declaring in spring 2017 without an agent, Jackson returned to the Terps with lofty expectations on his plate.
