Justin Jackson stood out.
The Sacramento Kings forward topped all former Tar Heels with 16.7 points per game in six contests in the 2017 NBA Summer League. While Jackson’s team struggled to a 2-4 record in Las Vegas, he was a bright spot and continued to show his aggressiveness as a shooter. Any doubt that his floater could fall in the NBA was answered, as he utilized the shot time and time again.
The league, which ran from July 7 to July 17, featured eight more UNC alumni. Former First-Team All-American Brice Johnson was part of a Los Angeles Clippers squad that also featured Isaiah Hicks.
