Big-bodied Rebel with a blue-collar interior game
In the 2005-06 season at UNLV, Jerome Johnson appeared in 10 of 30 games and posted 0.4 points and 0.6 rebounds per game while shooting 25.0% from the field, a tiny sample that suggests a depth big rather than a featured scorer. His best selling point was size and physicality — listed at 6-foot-8 and 245 pounds — plus a high-school résumé built on 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game, which hints at rim protection and inside toughness. If a team wants a low-usage, sturdy frontcourt piece, he fits the mold.
