    Anyone think that there is a possibility he comes out after his junior year? And if so, where do you think he would be drafted. I don’t know where he’d play. He has a nice jumper out to about 18 feet, but he can’t handle the ball at all, so you’d think 4, but he’s so skinny and gets muscled around so much that he doesn’t get the rebounds that you’d expect out of the tallest, most athletic guy (most of the time) on the court should get.

    i think he would be a sure second round pick unless he can improve that mid range jumper by the the time workouts start which could move him to the late first, but i believe if he and moore comeback and robbie hummels knee is back in good shape purdue could be a championship level team next year

    i think he can play in the leauge. he has a nice jumper and being small weight wise isnt much of a issue because you can put on a nice amount of muscle during the summer and before the season starts.i do think he should come back for another year though. then again i havnt watched awhole lot of his games

    He’s not going to be just be able to put on weight over the summer. He’s a naturally skinny guy, and he has a poor frame. I don’t think his jumper is good enough for him to make it as a pro for any extended amount of time. I can’t imagine him fighting for rebounds or post position, and he doesn’t have the ball-handling ability, strength, or the quickness of a high-post/perimeter oriented PF…

      Painter makes the guys stay on campus and take a summer school class and workout, and he’s put on all of about 15 pounds in two years, so no, he’s not going to magically beef up over a summer.

    you must not have lifted weights before iggy. i dont have a frame for weight (as they say) but i put on 25 pounds of muscle during the sumemr from lifting taking protein shakes and creatine. so i know for a fact that it can be done. never believe the ” his frame wont allow him to put on weight” because you can always put on weight with the right workout diet and gnc products. so its not magic. ive seen many different frames put on weight as well not even including my brother

    You probably have wider shoulders than Johnson does. I’m not a big weight lifter, but yes, I’ve lifted weights plenty of times. I’m telling you, don’t be surprised if Johsnon never gets more than about 220 lbs. His shoulders are even more narrow than Kevin Durant’s. He has the worst frame I’ve ever seen in a post player.

    im not saying he will do it but it doesnt matter about the shoulders. ive seen people with extremeley narrow shoulders that got big( my cousin for one who went to jail). its a misconception that someone cant get bigger because of there shoulders
