Outlook:
3pt. range. Good ball handler, exceptional for size with the ability to lead a fast break and can even play the point guard position! Finishes (DUNKS) everything around the basket, whether in traffic or not! Known for embarrassing opponents with vicious dunks! Johnelle's shooting, athleticism, and ball handling make him virtually impossible to stop offensively. He is a true scorer with a scorer's mentality. Unlike a lot of gifted players who rely almost exclusively on finesse he is extremely aggressive, physical and confident. He is a superb offensive rebounder with his physical attributes and attitude. Goes around, through, or over defenders for tip DUNKS. Johnelle's attitude is perhaps his best quality as a professional. He is a leader who wants the ball at the end of the game and is not scared of taking charge. He knows he can get the job done and does it! He has been responsible for several game winning shots over his career and is known for making big plays in critical situations. Defensively, Johnelle can be very intimidating. His athleticism makes him naturally capable defensively, but his size and aggression make him intimidating to other guards. He has averaged 1.5-2 blocks per game everywhere he's played professionally, while playing the guard position. He uses his size and leaping ability well to disrupt offenses. He plays excellent help defense and gets a lot of blocks from help-side. Although Johnelle is loved by coaches and fans for different reasons his explosive leaping ability, physical talents, shooting ability, and attitude make him a proven and bonafide professional!
