A limited role in New Zealand shouldn't take Johnson off of NBA radars. He's one of the most physically gifted prospects in this class. But is it enough to get drafted? And what will be his role?
Loved this, thanks Ersin. Super thorough. His body, athleticism and hoops IQ make me a believer in his upside. You hit on this and i think it’s fair to say - his skill level and application of pro-level learnings is hard to expect w/ so few reps as a pro in the NBL. G league awaits!
Thank you, Jack! And I fully agree. In terms of long-term potential, I can see teams falling in love with his potential. Not playing much in the NBL got him off the radar, as I was guilty of that by doing his write-up so late in the cycle. From what I saw, my gut feeling said first round based on everything I wrote. And I think that will be possible on draft night with teams like Washington or Brooklyn if some trades happen.
