He isn't a wildly athletic player but he isn't just slow. He has some real strength to him he held up to Randle on one possession. Ant blew past Hina. Couple times but he also put up a pretty good fight a few possessions too. He seemed to understand or have an ability to peel off and help here and there. He seems like a guy that would probably do well playing on a team that knew what they were doing on both ends. He also has enough size to play on both ends.

There is a lot of talk on this board about the lack of PG. Q over the years has pointed out in a number of seasons for many years that the Wolves lacked scoring and or shooting and or playmaking. He also made the point that if the Wolves could get someone that does either of those things it would help. Juzang could be a guy that could help as a shooter. He relocated well throughout the game and he is plenty willing to let it fly and the shot looks good and he has a pretty legit track record of hitting those shots in the NBA. He looks like a smart player who will move the ball. I don't know if I would say he has PG skills but he seems like a guy that knows how to play and would fit in well here. I'd guess we add another ball handler but I think Q's point about having a guy or guys that can shoot would help whoever is handling the ball...and regardless a lot of the time that will be Edwards. It's also why Donte is a really important piece to the roster.

I think we could do much worse for a 14th guy and he has some actual NBA experience. I think he fits what the roster needs more than Minott did and the Wolves added a guy that is more of a PF version of Minott on a 2-way in Freeman.

Juzang is 6'5.25" without shoes with a 6'11" wingspan. That's more length than TSJ and Juzang is now listed at 215. That's not big but that's decent enough to play SG and some SF.

I agree with your take, Monster. I watched a bunch of highlight videos of Johnny. He looks solid. Seems like a smart, fluid player with some ball skills and a good perimeter shot.He’s just the sort of guy a team like the Wolves - with our rotation guys in place and our payroll just below the second aprons — should pursue for the 14th roster spot. He’s pretty solid, still young and cheap. I’ve never thought we should fill our 14th spot with a 8th, 9th or 10th rotation guy. That wasn’t realistic.
