I was going to comment in my post about Johnson's height but I did not. I have seen KJ in person a couple of times and I question whether he will indeed measure 6'11". I have doubted that he is 6'11" for some time. IMO, KJ is a PF in the NBA because of his build. Also, I thought KJ was a lefty. I don't know about Johnson being ambidextrous. ------------------ "UNBEATABLE"
As I recall, he blocks with both hands pretty well. I don't recall rebounding and he shoots more or less right handed as far as I remember. His new move, that baby hook running across the lane, is right handed for what I remember. The rest are in close or dunks, so he'll use either hand there. He shot a few jumpers, but not many in that OSU offense. Don't know if this has been posted yet, but it is a great article about Ken Johnson from the Columbus Dispatch. This guy is working very hard (always has) and will do well at the next level. http://www.dispatch.com/news/sports01/apr01/678517.html Also, as an aside, he struggled his first couple of years with his game at OSU (being so inexperienced, he took the coach yelling at him personally and really struggled with that his first year, he has since learned that it is related to trying to make him better), but he was blocking shots the minute he walked on the floor the first time. Instinctive. ------------------
Some teams are projecting him as a PF and some as a center. I think 5 years ago he definetely would be a PF, but I think with the NBA centers not being as big (outside of Shaq & Dikembe) that he can step in as a center next year. He does block with both hands and I agree with buckeye that I have only saw the baby hook with his right hand. I'm not sure about the height, I've never actually stood beside him, but even if he is only 6'10 he isstill a quick leaper.
