21. Former Duke basketball forward Jalen Johnson
Jalen Johnson, who fell to No. 20 overall at the 2021 NBA Draft after quitting the 2020-21 Duke team with only a few weeks remaining in the season, has ridden the pine for the Atlanta Hawks as a rookie. Across the 14 games the 6-foot-9, 220-pound forward has played, he averages only 4.6 minutes.
The 20-year-old Johnson boasts the following rather disappointing season averages and percentages:
- 1.8 points per game
- 1.1 rebounds per game
- 0.1 assists per game
- 0.0 steals per game
- 0.1 blocks per game
- 45.0 percent from the field
- 37.5 percent beyond the arc
- 66.7 percent from the charity stripe
Jalen Johnson and the Atlanta Hawks (28-30), now No. 10 in the Eastern Conference standings, return from the All-Star break at 8 p.m. ET Thursday in a road contest against the Chicago Bulls (38-21).
