How does Javon Johnson look?
- Thread starter intrepid27
- Start date
Would be a nice 3rd option on this years team and would be a good long wing player that they also desperately need.
been told by a few people in the know that he will see a lot of mins, score about 8-10/game, think he would help this years team a lot
Whenever I see his name I get confused with Jamahl Johnson and immediately start thinking football.
nixon plays a lot. Doesn’t mean he’s good
I guess im a little jaded on practice reports on transfers after hearing Beverly would be potential conf newcomer of the year.
It was on 247 and not going to go back and find it from 2 years ago but the person who posted even admitted they were way off base
same person does have 8-10 ppg projections for Johnson
If he shoots 15.3 he'll have a better percentage
Just thinking through next season, *if* we are to be successful --
Bolton and Conditt need to be all-conference level guys.
Solomon needs to be probably something like HM -- consistently the energetic tough guy we have seen the past few games, only like that every night.
Johnson needs to be starter-quality. Having something close to starter-quality play out of Griffin and/or Lewis would help quite a bit, as well.
Jackson needs to consistently be a solid 3&D guy. He has shown flashes and even put together good games, but he is so inconsistent right now.
You need 2-3 of the incoming freshman and/or transfers to be viable rotation guys.
They need to learn how to play defense and especially how to defend the three-point line. We mostly complain about offense on here, but the offense has been fine, though they will have to learn how to continue that without Halibuton around to do everything for them. Watching teams shoot way above their season average from three-point land on us is getting rather old, though. If they can tighten up on defense and stop outside shooting from killing us, then we go from NIT hopeful to maybe on the bubble.
The above team is not winning the Big 12, but maybe it fights into the ground between the elite teams and the mediocre ones and makes the tournament.

That's a pretty wide gap. I'll sell you this car, it's not as nice as a Lamborghini, but it's better than a 1980 Dodge Omni.
I won't believe anything anyone says until he's on the court. We were all jacked up and hearing great things about Nixon this time of year last year...
I understand Nixon isn't an offensive threat but his defense is as advertised. So I am not going to hate on him.
