Dallas Mavericks: Justin Jackson graduates from North Carolina

Dallas Mavericks forward Justin Jackson was a welcomed mid-season addition to the team. He came over in the Harrison Barnes trade from Sacramento.

It took Jackson a bit to settle in, but he thrived down the stretch. Over the final 12 games, Jackson averaged 13.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.7 3-pointers made in 26.6 minutes a night. He shot 53.8 percent from the field and 38.5 percent on his threes during that stretch.

The 24-year-old still has two years remaining on his rookie contract. Justin Jackson is making news off the basketball court this weekend, though.
