Wesley Johnson 6'7'' Small Forward
Wesley Johnson, the 6'7'' wingman with the old school flow. Although he is 6'7'' he has one of the better wingspan of a player his size; expands out to seven plus feet.
With that, you understand he is a very defensive forward. He has the ability to be a good on-ball and off the ball defender at the next level. His speed, awareness, and long wingspan allows him to be a weak side shot blocker as well.
His leaping ability and wingspan also solidifies him as a consistent rebounder. He can jump and track down the ball very well for his position.
On the offensive side of the ball, if you need a shooting threat on the wing, Johnson is your man. At Syracuse many witnessed Johnson spotting up for a lot of jump shots and hitting them consistently.
His shot ranges to the NBA line but the mid-range game is where he excels. He needs to work on his one-on-one attack more, but overall Wesley Johnson is a great prospect.
