What Justin Jackson taught Joel Berry at UNC, and how it could help both in the NBA | The Sacramento Bee

If Joel Berry needed any advice on what to expect for his pre-draft workout with the Kings, he had access to insight from an insider.

Justin Jackson, one of Sacramento's three first-round draft picks last year, was Berry's teammate on North Carolina's 2017 NCAA championship team.

Berry was among six players working out for the Kings on Friday at Golden 1 Center. He'd already visited Minnesota, Brooklyn and Detroit for workouts.

The 6-foot guard averaged 17.1 points last season. While Jackson was a lock to be drafted in the first round last year, Berry is projected as a second-round pick, or could go undrafted.
