North Carolina’s Justin Jackson had his best college season to date as he was crowned as the 2017 ACC Player of the Year.
He led the Tar Heels with 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Jackson 45.2percen field goal percentage, 75.5 percent free throw percentage and 38 percent three-point field goal percentage.
During the 2015-16 season, Jackson was fourth in scoring for the Tar Heels behind Brice Johnson, Joel Berry II and Marcus Paige.
Jackson shot a dismal 29 percent from three-point range as a sophomore.
This season, he took the plunge and emerged as one of the leaders for the Tar Heels. Jackson developed his game and took more people off the dribble. He created his own shots more this season, also.
During the past three seasons, Jackson had added more skills onto his already advanced offensive game. Now, his game has come full circle. He is no longer a one-dimensional player.
Look for Jackson to continue his offensive display during the ACC Tournament. He is difficult to guard due to his frame and skill set. At 6-foot-8, 210 pounds, Jackson has a beautiful jump shot that is hard to guard.
If you press up on him too tight, then he will put the ball on the floor and drive to the hole. His floater and fade-away shots make Jackson possibly the most complete shooter in the country.
