Draft Notes

After a heroic march madness performance Johnny Juzang is jumping up draft boards. The shooting performance he put on was special and he deserves the first round hype.

He’s a complete player but his biggest NBA value is with his shot making ability.

Juzang might not blow you away with athleticism but he’s got a good frame and good size for a wing and sneaky quickness. His handles are advanced and help him blow by defenders despite not having an elite first step.

• A natural born scorer who just gets buckets
• Scores from inside and out, has a great shooting stroke and deep range.
• Has an advanced mid range game and can score in many ways, using quick release jumpers, floaters and scoop shots to score in the lane.
• Really knows how to find his shot and is a good off the ball player.
• Excels in catch and shoot situations and can also get his shot off the dribble.
• Has nice size for a wing with broad shoulders and decent strength.
• Isn’t an elite run/jump athlete
• Has average foot-speed
• Needs to get stronger

Comparisons

• Similar to Dillon Brooks but more advanced at this stage in his career.
