You don't really see a difference when you look at him. North Carolina's Justin Jackson is still as skinny as a beanpole. Long limbs and torso on a body that just doesn't look able to add bulk.
But Jackson is different this season, even if you cannot see it at first glance.
He gained 17 pounds from the NBA combine to the start of the season—from 193 to 210 pounds—with a diet that included five to six meals a day combined with hitting the weight room on a daily basis.
"I got sick of watching him have to eat," his father, Lloyd Jackson, said of Justin's offseason routine.
