CHICAGO – Fresh from helping the University of Connecticut capture the NCAA national title a little over a month ago, Andre Jackson Jr. is one of several dozen prospects at this week’s NBA Combine trying to show NBA scouts, general managers and other executives that he’s more than ready to take the next step in his basketball journey.
After scrimmaging and going through a litany of drills this week, Jackson believes he got the attention of the folks who will determine how high he’ll be selected in the NBA Draft, which will be held on June 22 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
