JaJuan Johnson

I wouldn’t be jumping to pick JaJuan Johnson. He’s scary skinny, and he’s never going to get big because he has some of the most narrow shoulders I’ve ever seen. Even more narrow than guys like Kevin Durant and Anthony Randolph. He’s a decent offensive player, but I see him having a hard time scoring in the NBA with his lack of strength and inconsistent mid-range game. He doesn’t quite have the face-up game he’ll need to play in the NBA right now. He needs to return for his Senior year..

I think his max could be a Charlie V

Craig Brackins is much more like Charlie V than JaJuan Johnson

he sort of reminds me of hakim warrick when he was in college with more upside

So you like the Chicago Bulls and Purdue Boilermakers.

We get it.

But don’t you want these guys to come back to school? 

i agree that he would be at best a solid role player for an NBA team. He’s listed as a PF/SF on most nba draft sites but he cant handle the ball nor does he have enough nba range to be playing SF. Matt Painter has been trying to get him to gain some weight for the past three years but it seem he just doesnt have the body type so it’ll be quite hard for him to defend and score against the bigmen in the NBA level. His rebounding abilities are also somewhat subpar. Robbie Hummel is a much better rebounder IMO.

BUT, many similar things were said about Purdue alum Carl Landry(except that he’s too short, not skinny) and he’s doing quite well right now in the NBA. JJ definitely needs to stay another year.
