Next up for Intentions annual OKC Thunder prospect profile series is Duke forward Jalen Johnson.

A prospect who if focused could develop into an all-around two-way player that could impact games on several fronts.

He has NBA-ready size and athleticism showing glimpses of spectacular but equally as often loses interest and displays concerning habits no club wants their team to emulate.

At just 19 and still raw if Johnson channels his energy and commitment to the sport in five years he could be viewed as one of the better prospects from the 2021 class.
