Though he's "shrunk" since the first info on him 1 year ago (6'6" then, and 6'4" now...) here's a nice piece from hoopseen.com's Corey Evans on his eponymous Corey Johnson.

P.S. I love it when the NBA Draft comes and we finally see the stats on guys and get their "true" heights in and out of shoes, etc...

    In response to H78

Corey is taller than 6'4, though I'm not quite sure he's 6'6.

He's got a great shot, but, for now, it requires him being set and open. That means that he needs playmakers around him that can collapse the defense for him to be useful (at this point).

He would have been very important last year, when Harvard could collapse defenses but had limited ability to punish defenses from deep. This year, without Siyani, Harvard is going to struggle to dribble-drive and kick, which is where Corey could have been most useful.

He and McCarthy will be incredibly useful freshmen for Harvard, but he probably won't be the high-volume shooter that some seem to expect.
