In his first contest with Sacramento’s G League affiliate, the No. 15 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft immediately made an impact for the Reno Bighorns.
Justin Jackson totaled 26 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals in his Reno debut to lead all scorers en route to a double-digit Bighorns victory. Jackson proved extremely effective in the pick-and-roll and pick-and-pop game, where he gelled with fellow assignee Georgios Papagiannis while displaying his smooth perimeter shot, ability to get to the rim, and his patented floater.
The North Carolina suited up in his second G League game on Monday evening, where he tallied another 20-plus point night with 24 points, seven rebounds, and three steals.
