I think it would take an absolute misunderstanding of the game of basketball (or a high level transfer) to keep Tyler Johnson from finding the floor next season. He is strong as hell, very athletic and has the skill set of someone like Dorenzo Hudson. I think he is a 4 to start out next season, due to his high level passing and ability to finish through contact. He is not a high level shooter, but he can definitely score the ball and be a playmaker, something important in that 4 spot. Ryan Jones is a great passer, good to serviceable shooter, very very strong upper and lower body and touch around the rim. He is someone who could develop into Mylyjeal Poteat but with scoring touch and shooting ability. He was a top 20 recruit until a knee injury kept him out of the AAU circuit. Despite that fall, he is still a Top 10 all-time VT recruit (I think 6th?) and BY FAR the highest rated post player VT has ever landed.
