Long Beach State: F Javonntie Jackson

Jackson has started both games for the 49ers this season. In those two games he is averaging 5.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in a little over 20 minutes of action. At 6’6, Jackson is one of Long Beach State’s taller players. At 190 lbs, he still needs to add some weight. He will also have his hands full trying to keep up with Justin Jackson.

North Carolina: Seventh Woods

Woods has come off the bench in both games this season. The explosiveness that made him an internet sensation is not there yet as he has missed two dunks already this season. He did hit his first shot against Chattanooga though, a swish three pointer late in the game.

The freshman is here because of his quick hands. The 49ers had 21 turnovers against Wichita State. Six of those were steals by the shockers. Woods is more than capable of picking the pocket of the Niners guards. With his speed, those steals could become highlight dunks and send the Dean Dome into frenzy.
