AJ Johnson - Quickness
At 19 years old, AJ Johnson is still incredibly young, so a lot of his best skills have yet to be brought to the light. However, even during his brief stint in the Summer League, the biggest thing that stands out with him is his quickness. He flies up and down the court every possession, making him a tough cover for opponents as he gets to the hoop or steps back for a jumper.
The hope is that Johnson's speed can help fuel his success at the NBA level like it did for stars such as John Wall and De'Aaron Fox. It might take a while for Johnson to develop into a consistent shooter or defender in this league, but there's no denying that he has the speed and burst to make a name for himself early on as he works out the other kinks in his game.
Tyler Smith - Physical tools
The most interesting aspect of Tyler Smith's game is his physical skill set. Although he stands tall at 6-foot-11, he's a freak athlete and fluid mover at his size. Like Johnson, he's also just 19 years old, so it will take time for him to truly unearth those skills, but there's no doubt that he can develop into a unique type of player if he relies on those physical traits as he grows.
Those tools make Smith an interesting long-term prospect. If he can develop into a solid defender and strong shooter at his size, he'll become a versatile piece for years to come. The big question is when he might be ready to hit the hardwood consistently. His rookie year will be about development, and he should stick close to Giannis Antetokounmpo to learn from another gifted Milwaukee athlete.
