Marcus JohnsonMarcus Johnson is a 6'6 USC swingman noted most in his college days for his dunking ability. The fifth year senior is plenty athletic enough, and capable of playing extremely good perimeter defense. Unfortunately, he never learned how to score; last year he averaged 9.6ppg and 4.6rpg, but shot only 39% from the field, 28% from three point range, and turned it over 3 times per game. For all his athleticism and gambling defense, Johnson can't dribble or shoot, which is problematic in a guard. But if someone falls in love with him like Mike Woodson did with Mario West - that is to say, very very very much - then Johnson has a chance.
