Longhorns Texas Guard Continues Hot Series – Sports Illustrated

Until Texas Longhorn, in the end, could not get out with a win over # 2 Alabama on Tuesday night-overwhelming his third defeat-the best project of the NBA in Tre Johnson again managed to show his set of skills.

The 6-foot-5 combo guard, Johnson has long been on the NBA radars as five-star, and his ability to evaluate has been fully displayed for Longhorns so far this season.

On Tuesday evening, this was true, as Johnson poured 24 points at the firing 9 for 17, adding four assists and three fights. He climbed half of his eight eight tried beyond the rainbow and nailed both free throws in a whole goal maker. Texas eventually lost by blowing, 103-80, falling into a superb team in Alabama.

Johnson’s main concerns are in his ability to contribute to other areas, especially defensive. And part of that was suppressed with his additional statistics on Tuesday.

During the season he is now an average of nearly 20 points per game – apparently an elite sign for a freshman – along with 2.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists, while shooting over 43% as a whole.

Johnson is unlikely to command the role of option # 1 of the NBA Gate, but the potential certainly seems to be there in the position of the shooting guard.

According to a more intelligence report than Johnson’s NBA project: “While he will not play a very leading guard, Johnson has passing chops that will prove to be useful, moving forward. Especially if he is ultimately the main goalkeeper at the NBA level and has the ball in his hands at high speed, his ability to adjust and find others will be very valuable. When there is no ball in his hands, Johnson will have to continue to find ways to influence the ball and do more than just a result. “

Longhorns then took No. 15 Kentucky on Saturday, February 15th. Wildcats has just won a large-scale victory over # 5 Tennessee on Tuesday night and will seek to release Texas its fourth brighter loss.
