Say Hello To JaJuan Johnson

Take a good look at the Boston Celtics' first round draft pick, JaJuan Johnson.  Johnson is a 6' 10" forward/center from the Purdue Boilermakers.  I heard of this guy while watching March Madness this past year, but never realized how much of a force he was in the paint.

It's clear from this highlight video that Johnson has a lot of potential.  He reminds me of KG, hitting fade away shots in the paint with ease over his defenders, but also having the ability to hit the near-three point shot too.

I don't think it's possible for this kid to not become a great player with the likes of KG himself as a mentor during his rookie season, telling him all the tricks to succeed in the NBA.

Watch for great things next season - assuming he even gets a chance in a regular season game. Only time will tell...
