Further Prospect Info

I wanted to provide some further information on the two players that Chad Ford is currently projecting the Bulls to select in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, James Johnson and DaJuan Summers.  “Johnson is a very intriguing prospect,” it says in Johnson’s ESPN.com profile.  “He’s a great athlete, has a NBA body and he’s very skilled.  He can play multiple positions on the floor and does a bit of everything on the offensive end.  Johnson has some flaws.  His basketball IQ is still fairly raw and he can get out of control at times.”

“Summers got off to a sizzling start this season and there was talk that he might be a mid-first-round pick,” Summers’ profile says.  “He has great size for his position, NBA athleticism and a terrific body and he can shoot from deep range.  He’s in many ways the prototypical NBA small forward.  However, his production really dropped off after Georgetown went into the tank. His shooting percentage went down, his turnovers went up and the team seemed to crumble around him.  Based on physical talent and abilities, Summers is a surefire late-lottery to mid-first-round pick.  However, his inability to put together one great college season has given teams pause and put him squarely on the first-round bubble.”
