Congrats to the kid, his family and JT3 and the coaching staff!! Great numbers! 55% from 3 translates to what at GU? In all seriousness i wonder if it translates to JT3 seeing him as a legitimate option at SG. He would have great size at the position, appears to have a very good handle, and is comfortable creating for others. I dont know how is foot speed is for defensive purposes but if JT3 and staff have seemed to turn their focus to 2016 recruits and transfers i just wonder if he feels johnson and peak can be the answer at the 2 when DSR is either running the point or on the bench. Asked this on the main board to get more visibility but I hope he can slot into that role. Even without Kaleb, we will be running mostly three forward lineups out there.

I have assumed, from what I've seen, our needs, etc., that Kaleb is going to play some 2 guard for us, especially as a long term option. But that's just me.

Just from what I've seen, I think he has some of the skills to play the 2; pretty good handle, nice stroke. He's a good, but not elite athlete. I think he could play the 2 offensively, but not sure he has the lateral quickness to guard opposing 2s.

55% from 3 translates to what at GU? Just don't call him a "shooter" or it'll translate to roughly something like 2 for 13 from 3 point range over a couple seasons.

It's funny, when you get a close-up picture like this and see their faces, you realize they are just ~18 year old babies.

I have a good feeling about this kid. There's just something about lefties that always makes me feel like they're tougher to guard.

He's a new man, this ain't last years Kaleb Johnson, he's the glue guy, the guy you can't plan for! Kaleb has been everywhere this year, hitting 3's, creating turnovers you name it he's been doing a little of everything to win! HE"S EVEN MAKING FOUL SHOTS!!!!

Kaleb has been everywhere this year, hitting 3's, creating turnovers you name it he's been doing a little of everything to win! HE"S EVEN MAKING FOUL SHOTS!!!! I liked the following sequence: Kaleb sets up for the 3 from the corner, pass comes a little bit late, defender comes close to Kaleb, Kaleb fakes the shot and slashes to the basket along the baseline, goes around a defender and under the basket for a reverse lay-up... Who is this baller?!
