Could Illawarra Hawks shooting guard AJ Johnson make sense for the Boston Celtics to target in the 2024 NBA draft? A very slight (under 170 lbs.) wing standing just under 6-foot-6 and the owner of a 6-foot-9 wingspan, Johnson’s overall game is fairly raw.
But his 8-foot-6 standing reach, 38-inch standing vertical, and plus lane agility, shuttle, and 3/4 sprint and young age (just 18) hint at a high ceiling if he develops well. The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time to take a deep dove into his game and fit with Boston.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.
