Strengths:[/u] Johnson is a very capable scorer coming out of UNLV. Doesn't have great range, but is a capable shooter. A powerful inside scorer and a good leaper; he dunks the ball with authority. He is a very good rebounder. Handles the ball pretty well for his size. He has decent vision, but nothing too impressive. A definite force with the ball in his hands, though.
Weaknesses:[/u] He isn't a strong 3P threat, but you still don't want him taking that shot with the game on the line if you are the defense. A subpar defender. His game right now is probably better suited for a PF, but if he is going to be a star, he'll have to be a SF at the next level. His lateral quickness has been questioned, but has the strength to guard bigger PFs.
Scout's Take:[/u] Should be in discussion for the #1 Pick. Some questions regarding where he'll play at the next level, but he has the tools to be great.
Ratings:[/u] Larry Johnson SF 6'7'' 250 22 B C+ C B- B A
