Name: Larry Johnson
Position: SF
Height: 6'7''
Weight: 250
Age: 20
Pros: LJ is a tank. He's built for combat 250 pounds and truly more of a PF then a SF. LJ is built while not as good as Charles Barkley from last season he has that potential to be a struggle to defend as he can finish down low with the best PFs and uses his freakish athletic skill and knack for knowing where to be to get his rebounds and put backs. He'll develop into a pretty good low post defender like his days in New York.
Cons: Personally I thought LJ should have been slightly better in the PRD department as he was very good pre injury when he had to become more of a low post type player and defender. I wouldn't say he has a ton of flaws as he's kind of okay in everything but doesn't excel outside of his down low and rebounding.
Overall: I think his athletic ability may be what carries him in his career and I could see him being an 18ppg and 8-9rpg performer for many seasons but I'm not sure he'll be able to be a good enough defender to keep his matchup from running just as wild on you.
Projection: 7-10
