UNC in the NBA: Kings win behind Justin Jackson’s big game

Justin Jackson continued his hot play on Tuesday night, scoring 20 points against the Memphis Grizzlies on day five of the Las Vegas Summer League.

It was the second consecutive game, and fourth out of the past six that Jackson scored 20 or more points. He’s led the team in scoring four times this summer, notching double-figure points in all but one game. He’s currently leading the Kings in scoring and minutes played, and has been their most impressive player through the first two weeks of summer play.

His latest 20-point game came on an ultra-efficient shooting performance, including 8-of-13 from the floor and 2-of-4 from three-point range.
