Small Forward: Justin Jackson (’14-Present)

The newest Tar Heel to become a national champion, Justin Jackson led the Tar Heels all year long.

Opting to return to school for his junior year, he used the advice he received from the NBA combine and became a first team All-American this year.

Averaging 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game this season, he also raised his three point shooting percentage up seven percent (37 percent) on his way to setting a single season school for made three-pointers.

Not only did he win the National Championship and become a first team All-American, but he also won ACC Player of the Year.

Jackson will now be able to see his #44 hang up in the rafters in the Dean Dome.
