Justin Jackson- Boston Celtics

Justin Jackson has had experience winning at the highest levels of basketball.

Along with his 2017 national championship, Jackson added an NBA title to his collection two seasons ago as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite these accomplishments, the national champion is currently looking to find a steady landing spot in the association.

Jackson was a late addition to the Boston Celtics summer league roster and did not disappoint in his three games with the team. He averaged 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3 assists in these outings.

His best performance came in his debut, where he scored 24 points, including making five of his 10 shots from deep in the Celtics’ 103-92 win over the Warriors.

The former ACC Player of the Year appeared in seven NBA games last season as a member of both the Celtics and the Phoenix Suns and is looking to up that number this coming year. Jackson has been a winner at every stage of his career and will bring his smooth offensive game to whatever team he winds up with next season.
