Jalen Johnson

Sharing the late-game stage with All-Stars of both the past and present, Jalen Johnson had the look of a player poised to make that leap in the very-near future. Already accumulating buzz for his two-way traits and potential, the Atlanta Hawks forward picks the perfect time to piece a special sequence together, creeping in to cut off a pass attempt on one end and then closing the game’s curtain on the other with a smooth, game-winning triple. Despite being fifth on the team in shot attempts, the rising third-year swingman still found time to flirt with a triple-double, punishing the Philadelphia 76ers with 25 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks, and three 3-pointers, helping steer a signature win on January 10, 2024.
