Two years ago when I first saw Jayce Johnson I was excited about his potential. I thought to myself, “Here’s a 7-footer who is fairly coordinated. He is very weak on the block, weak at rebounding, terrible from the free throw line. Looks like a rag doll out there. But he has potential.” Tonight, two years later, I saw a 7-footer who is very weak on the block, weak at rebounding, terrible from the free throw line and looks like a rag doll out there. He got boxed out and out-rebounded by a guard who was a foot shorter than him.
How TF has this kid NOT improved in 2+ years, at all? He’s still hucking up foul shots with one hand. Has NOBODY coached this kid or is he not coachable? Has nobody taught him how to shoot a basketball? How to box out?
WTF?
