Louisiana Tech forward Kenneth Lofton Jr.
Comp: Nikola Jokić
Why: “Although I say I’m a different person, because some people have one or two things that are limited, and I feel like I have a whole book of things that I can pull out and show NBA teams… We have a similar game. Can shoot, can dribble, can post up, pretty much do everything that I do. I feel like I have a little bit more bounce than Jokić, but you know, I feel like we play similar.”

I promise I am not trying to be a hater but Jokic played the whole season and started > 50 games his rookie season (made all rookie).
Lofton played ~5 games that weren’t garbage time minutes.
Jokic shooting almost 48% from 3 in these playoffs and over 38% from 3 just this reg season.
KLJ shot 25% in the G-League. 20% in one G-League playoff game.
No KLJ, you cannot shoot.
