13. Johnny Juzang, Kentucky Wildcats

Forward Johnny Juzang was a late addition to the 2019 class, figuratively speaking. He decided to reclassify from the 2020 class this past April with the Kentucky Wildcats and Virginia Cavaliers emerging as early frontrunners. The Wildcats clearly won the Juzang Sweepstakes and with it, they’re getting a 6-foot-6 prospect that can score in a hurry.

Much like Keldon Johnson did for Kentucky in 2018-19, look for Juzang to play the same type of role. Juzang averaged 23.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for Harvard-Westlake High School in 2018-19 before deciding to move up a class.

Kentucky will have to replace Johnson, Tyler Herro, Reid Travis and P.J. Washington, their top four leading scorers from a season ago so don’t be surprised if Juzang takes on some of the scoring load. With his size at 200 pounds, he’s a player that can get anywhere he wants on the floor and score the basketball.
