Larry Johnson B C C- C B A
Age: 22
Height: 6-6
Weight: 250 lbs.
College: UNLV
Strengths: Larry will always been known for his fantastic ability to finish around the hoop. He's an electrifying dunker who will certainly be a fan favorite. His midrange game is very good and has the ability to develop into a decent 3 point threat. Should be close to 20 points per game as a rookie. LJ is also a very good rebounder and should immediately average 8-10 rebounds per game.
Weaknesses: The glaring weakness in Johnson's game is his defense. He lacks the desire to ever become a great defensive player. LJ is also a bit of a me first player and sometimes forces bad shots instead of looking for the open man.
Overall: Johnson was a fantastic college player for the Runnin' Rebs and has off the charts athletic ability. He will undoubtedly be a very good scorer, but I'm not sure he will ever be called a true franchise player. LJ would really thrive as a second banana to a great player. Until he improves his outside shooting ability he might be a bit of a tweener, but that's a problem that should be ironed out after a few TC's. Due to the lack of a consensus #1 pick in the upcoming draft Johnson would be as good a choice as any for the #1 spot.
