UNC’s Jackson will work out for Knicks

North Carolina junior swingman Justin Jackson will bring his championship résumé to the Knicks’ Tarrytown facility next month, The Post has learned.

According to an NBA source, Jackson will work out for the Knicks on June 13 ahead of the NBA draft. Jackson interviewed with the Knicks at the the league’s draft combine in Chicago this month. He is projected by most to be a late lottery pick.

Knicks president Phil Jackson said he is looking for help in the backcourt or on the wing in the June 22 draft. With small forward Carmelo Anthony on the trading block, Justin Jackson could attempt to fill the void after a terrific season in which he helped lead the Tar Heels to the NCAA title. He averaged 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds 2.8 assists on the way to being named ACC Player of the Year.

It is unclear if the Knicks would consider him with the eighth pick or will take him if they slide down a few notches to later in the first round in a trade to gain an extra asset.

“It was good, a lot of fun, meeting with Phil Jackson, that’s pretty amazing,’’ Justin Jackson told The Post at the draft lottery this month.

After making the NCAA title game last year as a sophomore, Justin Jackson went to the combine, but pulled out of the draft after getting “feedback from different teams” that said he needed to improve his perimeter shooting. He did exactly that, raising his 3-point shooting percentage from 29 percent to 37 percent this past season.

“It was one of the biggest things teams said,’’ the 22-yearold said at the combine. “Looking back I needed to go back and needed to put in extra time. This season I had showed the work that I put in. Now I feel comfortable going through this process.’’

The Knicks are interested in him partly because he’s been the ultimate winner. The Zen Master and Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek also like older players coming out of the draft, bucking the current trend.
