Jafar Ahmad (J.A.) Garang
C
7'3"
217
21
St. John's
Current Ratings: B- D- D+ A+ C- B
Strengths
An absolute workhorse on defense in the post. Garang swats shots like flies and also has incredible footwork, taking charges and drawing offensive fouls.
Possesses incredible lateral quickness, which allows him to get back on defense for blocks.
At St. John's, he is currently averaging 12.3 ppg, 5.4 rpg and 6.1 bpg
He will be an absolute legend when it comes to defense at the next level.
On offense, he is not terrible either. He is very efficient in the post and only takes shots that he knows he can make. You will never catch him settling for a jump shot, even when he's wide open, he looks to move the ball.
He has an 8-foot wingspan. He is a freak.
Weaknesses
Awful rebounder who gets bullied for loose boards.
Not very strong and gets pushed around under the basket.
Has a lot of trouble shooting the ball and at the stripe.
Somewhat limited upside. Scouts don't know how much better he will become.
Has predictable post moves and is useless on the offensive boards.
Outlook
His defense alone will make him a top-10, possibly top-5 pick. May lead the league in shot blocking immediately.
Will never be a complete player and likely never an all-star, but is expected to make all-defense teams consistently from day 1.
