Knicks getting visit from title-winning North Carolina stud

North Carolina junior swingman Justin Jackson will bring his championship résumé to the Knicks’ Tarrytown facility next month, The Post has learned.

According to an NBA source, Jackson will work out for the Knicks on June 13 ahead of the NBA draft. Jackson interviewed with the Knicks at the the league’s draft combine in Chicago this month. He is projected by most to be a late lottery pick.

Knicks president Phil Jackson said he is looking for help in the backcourt or on the wing in the June 22 draft. With small forward Carmelo Anthony on the trading block, Justin Jackson could attempt to fill the void after a terrific season in which he helped lead the Tar Heels to the NCAA title.
