Profile
AJ Johnson is far from a perfect prospect, but his raw abilities may make up for this in the long run. Johnson is a great athlete while staying on the ground being one of the more explosive guards in this class in terms of quickness. He is a good finisher around the rim with the ability to finish with both hands. Being a solid vertical threat keeps defenses on their toes when he attacks the rim, but most of his damage is done by getting away from defenders and hitting his spots. Johnson will absolutely need to improve his physicality and jump shooting, but is worth a swing strictly from his upside. Once he is able to round out his overall basketball IQ on both ends, the upside swing on Johnson should be worth the wait.
