Kamani Johnson

This kid has some potential. While we were being dazzled by Kris Bankston's gaudy numbers, Johnson was quietly shooting "only" 55% from the field. And, he was a better rebounder per minute than Tucker. He stuck to his job, only attempting one 3-pointer all season (he missed it). And he was third on the team in blocks. Not spectacular, but steady; and the way things went this last season we could have done with a lot less of the spectacular and a lot more of the steady. He was fifth on the team in FTs attempted, but shot only 50.8% from the line, so that is a place he needs to improve.

I really like Mr. Johnson's upside. If he sticks it out here in LR and gets some decent coaching, he could end up being a good one.
