Since Wesley Johnson transferred from Iowa State he has emerged as a huge star. His production has dropped since Big East conference play started, but he's still the most important player on a winning team. He's a classic college small forward who could potentially be a big shooting guard in the NBA. At Iowa State, he was a streaky outside shooter who could hit it when open, but he's emerging as a pure shooter. Johnson is extremely long and athletic. He has great rebounding instincts pulling down almost 9 per game. He's an underrated defender who averages almost 2 steals and 2 blocks per game. He's able to be so deadly because he draws the defense out because of his shooting ability which allows him to pump fake and drive for an acrobatic dunk, layup, or midrange jumper. Like many college players, he needs to add a little bulk to his wiry frame, but that shouldn't be an issue once he gets into the league. He also needs to work on his passing. He seems to lose his aggressiveness on offense sometimes and just flat out doesn't look to score. Once he gets that killer instinct, he'll be a deadly 20 points per game guy in the NBA.
