Outlook:
Is a team leader on the court. John is the ultimate teamplayer. very active (offensive) rebounder who plays with his back to the basket. Works hard to get position on the inside. Runs the floor extremely well in the break. Seals off very well in offense. Team-oriented player who plays within his limitations. Has a nice spinmove in the low post. Finds always the open man in offense, even being double-teamed. Can score from the low post, especially with his jumphook. Good post defender who can play also taller opponents. Can play a high/low post game which makes him a valuable addition to many teams.
