The kid has some eye-popping numbers: love the 1+ steal and block per game .444 from three, uhh, yeah. .349 FT rate is great +9 in his per 100 possession rating. The General seemingly strikes again. He's one of the most productive players in the country 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely the BPA, do have an issue with him leaving school though. Yah, he's a top 5 natural talent but leaving Duke dropped his stock. He's better than 10 players picked ahead of him. Its great value at 20. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That three point attempt rate gonna have to jump from .165 to about .250 if that percentage translates. Still want him around the basket to hit the offensive glass, especially with his paint passing chops shown on the highlight. I can forgive the questions about him leaving early when you’re handpicked by Coach K. Edited July 30, 2021 by benhillboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkmoor Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 If the Hawks can keep everybody, they are gonna be right there with Milwaukee next season. This is a very good pick. Johnson brings that grit the Hawks need in a playoff atmosphere. He looks NBA ready and will get minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg#8 Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 https://www.nba.com/stats/draft/combine-anthro/ Official measurements have him at 6'7.75" w/o shoes and a 7'0.25" wingspan. So slightly different than the 6'9 + 6'11 numbers that are out there. Legit 6'8 with a 7 foot plus wingspan 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomFan Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) He can develop into a point-forward that you run some offense through. Similar size to DeAndre Hunter BTW Edited July 30, 2021 by RandomFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post passing is unlike anything we currently have on the roster. That's a skill that stars are made of. I will say, with Hunter down at the start of the year you may see him get minutes at backup 3. He is a combo forward by all intents and purposes, even though I think he can be an elite 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL_BRYANT Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 IHope the HAWKS keep him. Back up for John Collins if he leaves for some reason. Plenty of ballplayers left. Would have been happy with Keon Johnson, Springer,Thomas,Mann Butler etc. Was looking at Raiquan Gray as a second round 4 who had play making ability. Really liked Butler as both a person and player. Think the Hawks can land a good player in the second Round. Would love to see the HAWKS move up for Cooper or Butler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
