NBA ROLE: NEW WAVE FORWARD

 

Jalen Johnson is a name to watch: supremely talented forward w/ a new wave game; can handle, attack in transition & score on multiple levels; great athlete w/ a vast dunk zone, can soar up top, off vert - always goes up w/ bad intentions; shoots a bit a of deliberate set shot, needs to work on speeding up release (will lead to greater volume as he progresses); a bit of a throwback on the glass: Johnson utilizes great anticipation and athleticism to secure possessions; could become a terror defensively: active hands, aggressive as a rim protector; hybrid forward/playmaker in ATL?; broke the rotation in Year 2: Johnson’s a very bright prospect to monitor - could play a strong supporting role soon
