He's never been able to jump and that lack of explosion is what will ultimately keep him out of the NBA. He was dominant at Auburn though and that's what matter s most to me

The guy who many people think is the best player in the world has a 17 inch vertical for what it’s worth

Much worse day today for Tahaad. 10 Points, 4-15, 1-8 from 3, 3 assists, 6 turnovers from what I saw on X.

Fair point but I've never seen Jovic struggle around the rim the way Johni has and he's more than just a little more skilled as well

Yeah I wasn't really directing that at you or anyone, more that he is the butt of the joke all over Twitter for something that clearly hasn't kept him from a great hooper or Jokic from being an all time great

Did he do all of the combine stuff last year? I'm wondering what his vertical was then?

It feels so weird and wrong to be all Mr. Burns about an Auburn player doing poorly at the combine. But regardless, excellent news for us for having a PG for next year possibly.

He looks like he would fit the offense Bruce has used the past few years. Strong around the basket with good touch, good passer, even out of the double team, can cut/roll and be a lob threat, runs the floor decently, looks to be a decent offensive rebounder with the size for it. He doesn't seem to have much of a jumper at all, though.

Defensively, he looks to protect the rim well enough, shouldn't get bullied with his size, and can rebound, may be athletic enough to guard some smaller guys.

Johni is getting drug on social media for his lack of vertical. Anybody who has ever watched him knew he wasn't exactly explosive but 24" was a little surprising


Standing verticals are a little difficult. Either way, he's 6'10" with long arms. He'll be ok.

What does this even mean? We are talking about the NBA Draft, not little johnnie having bullies.

He's right in this case. It's a goofy system

Pretty good numbers for one of the better leagues in Europe.

Be careful about X posts from this “wavybone” guy. He had one the other day that said we’d lost Fegans and Harris out of the secondary and needed to find replacements for them. Another one was a retrospective about the 1979 Auburn football season that had completely fabricated scores and statistics from that year. I have no idea if this one is legit or not, but don’t count on it.


Not my post and I can't confirm it either way but some of these guys are in it for the hits as I'm sure you know
