Iowa State Basketball’s Next Star Could Be Part of Weekend Visit--Sports Illustrated

Fortunately for Iowa State, two of the five players coming on visits are perfect options to be the Cyclones’ next star player.

The first one is Jaquan Johnson, a sophomore guard who played for the Bradley Braves. Johnson has been incredible. He averaged 16.9 points per game in his sophomore year and added 3.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

He had three 30+ point games last season, with his best game coming against the Belmont Bruins in an overtime victory over the conference leaders.

Johnson perfectly fits the mold to be the star player of Iowa State for the future. He’s a dynamic guard, one who can score with ease. Also, he can rebound the ball to an extent, as well as dish the ball out like a point guard.

Sometimes, players move up a level and really slow down, but there is reason to believe that Johnson won’t slow down and continue at a similar pace with the Cyclones.
