On the eve of the NBA Draft, it was a fellow ACC player that Justin Jackson was talking about.
Earlier this spring, Jackson became the 14th Tar Heel – first since Tyler Zeller in 2012 – to be named ACC Player of the Year, receiving 24 of the 53 votes.
Jackson, though, doesn’t believe that he was the best player in the league.
“I should not have been ACC Player of the Year,” Jackson told reporters at a NBA media session on Wednesday.
Who would Jackson have picked? Well, travel eight miles down the road and you’ll find him.
