Jalen Johnson was the steal of the 2021 NBA Draft, making remarkable improvement each year. The All-Star caliber forward has just one flaw that has plagued his short career: his injury record. Johnson has averaged just 46 games played a season, suffering major injuries in three of his four seasons as a pro. Despite this, Johnson has broken through as a true star in the NBA who just needs the chance to prove it over a full season.
Johnson's high-flying athleticism makes him one of the most exciting players in the league when healthy. Unlike most athletic slashers with a concerning history of injuries, Johnson's injuries have primarily been to his upper body.
