unreal player, looks bigger then 6'7 and is so fast and athletic

[@joshuamedley7527]

Hes 6'9

[@bkelly625]

He’s like 6’10 in shoes

[@SplashYT.]

​@@bkelly625you can round that to 7ft

[@avidreader6534]

he lowkey smooth asl. once he gets comfortable scoring off the dribble as well as off catch and shoot/rip options, he can easily avg 24ppg

[@intrusivethoughts27]

He been a point forward since his phenom days , crazy to watch a players aau highlights and see there game translate in the league

[@yuyuhakushow]

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER

[@sportsguruorpsychiatrist4860]

When he dunked Chet he said “I told y’all I was gone get his ass”. 😂 he and his squad was plotting

[@MrTerrell966]

Hawks finally found another difference maker in the draft.. JJ and TRae are the future.

[@SwishSpotlightPH]

Kid is special!

[@lachlangaming7866]

Congrats Jalen

[@pacman-x3m]

He’s the franchise player Hawks have been searching for.. trade Murray, Capela, Hunter and let Okongwu fly too.. Hawks could be fun..

[@marcopenello1032]

You're wrong. He is the best player of the team...already

[@bigzaksnak9998]

Why would you get rid of okongwu

[@pacman-x3m]

@@bigzaksnak9998 i meant to keep Okongwu to “let him fly”…

[@Bryan-qh1ri]

fr. This is a dangerous team if they get their act together. capela is actually good. I say trade away Murray and Hunter

[@hayatorpg3896]

Did he just casually dunk on Holmgren?!

[@blaineberger6477]

He catches a body at least once a game tbh

[@PatG129]

He has a very high ceiling. Once he gets more comfortable it’ll all click for him. Steal by ATL. Side note: that behind the back & slam on Chet was SICK

[@Graves225]

better than colins

[@EazzyE003]

Easily

[@1bucciarelli]

Not even close

[@urandubrown1081]

Way better #sweatergod

[@BronzeTrejean]

@@1bucciarelliYou dumb as hell JC goofy af and falls when he tries to dribble a lot of the time meanwhile JJ can do everything with ease

[@VantageMain11k]

@@1bucciarelliway better idk what ur watching …

[@patheticcircus3774]

Jalen is going to be a superstar and definitely a all star

[@sarcastic_something]

JJ causally catches at least one body per game. MIP

[@Bryan-qh1ri]

if the hawks can get their act together, this is a dangerous team. bogdanovic is becoming a lethal shooter, trae is trae when he is on. Having murray and johnson in the core is a bonus

[@jaylew651]

Exactly what we been Missing. He is our high energy player the heartbeat of the defense and effort not Capella not zokongwu they take plays off

[@psykhout]

JJ = LBJ

[@jesseb5985]

Dont trade him hawks!

[@tru3k3ng78]

MJ x LBJ = JJ #1

[@wilseph1]

Shiiiiiiiiii At this point, Trae goes before Jalen Johnson.

[@jxrro]

JJ🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LukaHighlights]

That poster 😱

[@bighand1530]

Ikr?

[@kavenavery8561]

He s a guy out of high school, I thought was going to be really good. He went to Duke and underwhelmed, then left halfway through the season. I reallly didn't think he was going to pan out. A lot of Duke players I thought were going to be really good, I'm glad one of them is turning it around. He has all the skills to be really good just didn't think he had the drive. I hope he keeps it up. As far as most improved, he d really have to finish at an allstart level to win that award. There s just way too good of players stepping it up this year. He s not on the radar.... Yet.

[@hello-ruroi2011]

So good

[@Killajmj]

traplanta got a new star

[@darkwing7966]

The Traptors want him in a trade for Siakam. Lol

[@bkelly625]

@@darkwing7966 That will not happen only way Raptors get Johnson is if they offer Scottie Barnes which won’t happen either

Most Improved and it’s not even close

[@outforthecount7027]

looking like the 2nd best player in the draft

[@AuthenticCelestial]

Him.

[@shonuf5152]

JJ is evolving. Just needs to pass to his teammates more and share the ball. He has point guard skills too.

[@AuthenticCelestial]

wild that he also has that in his bag to develop. triple-double machine / franchise player potential

[@eknowles54321]

It's not his role right now. If we move on from DJ he'll get more playmaking responsibility.

[@vv5690]

literally not his role currently. the hawks need his scoring more than anything else

[@CableWireSSC]

Jaquez was such a good pickup for the Hawks context: title said “Jaime Jaquez Jr.” instead of Jalen Johnson

[@FSVR54]

lmao

[@kavenavery8561]

They must have changed it.

[@hayatorpg3896]

Jalen Johnson gonna get DeAndre Hunter traded

[@Doggomorph]

WOOOOOOO

Reminds me of lebron!🎉

[@ice-coldspear9193]

With 140+ points, I guess everyone had 28 points.

[@jtrix34]

JJ is what we thought Colins was going to be.

[@MrTerrell966]

No we didnt..lol Collins was never gonna be able to dribble or pass like JJ

[@TheRobotGorilla]

​@@MrTerrell966 Exactly lol and when we drafted Collins the vision for the team was way different. He was definitely always considered a second option at the least though.... probably more a third now shit

[@overundercambodia8926]

How does the NBA channel make so many mistakes?

[@kenyouken3377]

I was so confused 😂😂

[@Willmelon]

?

[@danv6404]

First play was a travel not a “gather step” lol.

[@KobeAshei]

Low key banchero-like

he will be wearing raps jersey soon

[@SamIAm07]

Keep dreaming

[@boshahrokhi3752]

Siakam

[@ClayE-ww6xm]

How tall is buddy?

[@Patrick-bi6ye]

Listed at 6’9 but he looks equal to Capela who’s 6’10

[@ybk.k]

He 6,10

[@tjsmith5550]

he's 6'10 without shoes

[@tjsmith5550]

his height is literally different on every site. I've seen from 6'8 to 6'11

[@spitgiezer]

Jalen johnson is nice, but that okc defense on him was putrid, wide open shots and open driving lances on almost every on everyone of these plays

[@AuthenticCelestial]

they were a bit gassed, but he's an athletic freak in a league of them, for sure
