Dear God.  Are we having that argument?  We have all seen Andre's set/push shot.  Hit hits some when wide open, but couldn't even get it off if guarded, given his release. Being an overall player is different than evaluating a known skill.  I don't have any doubts Johnson can shoot, just as I didn't with Hawkins, who missed everything early on.  I don't doubt he can run, jump, dunk and block shots at a high level.  The real question is his strength, man defense and lateral quickness.  But the length makes up for some of that.

"Johnson, 6 feet 10 with a 7-5 wingspan, showed some flashes of his versatility in the scrimmage: coming out of nowhere to block a shot, hitting a couple of 3s and making an impressive baseline move."  “You’ve got a 6-10 guy, he’s like a pterodactyl,” Hurley said. “The guys playing in front of him have got to keep him off the court, they’ll have to produce. He has days when he looks like that, and he has some days when he’s overwhelmed. He’s a special talent.”
