Jasper Johnson is a microwave-type scorer who can put points on the board in bunches. He has an incredibly soft and natural touch, shot-making ability, and a skilled finishing package that includes running hooks, teardrops, and lots of craft. Nik Khamenia has been a skilled connector. He has spaced the floor and been a consistent shooting threat from three. (247 Sports)
