Golden State’s McAdoo glad UNC’s Justin Jackson didn’t join him in NBA this year

Posted Apr 3, 2017
James Michael McAdoo left UNC after his junior year without any guarantee he would get drafted. But when then-junior Justin Jackson entered his name for the NBA Draft and went through the NBA Combine after last season, McAdoo hoped Jackson would choose a different path. "I was rooting for him to come back because I knew what (UNC) could accomplish." (Durham Herald-Sun)
