It may have been in a workout on the other side of the world, but Illawarra fans have finally had their first view of Next Star signing AJ Johnson with a Hawks logo on his chest.
Johnson completed a workout in front of a large group of invested on-lookers – including Hawks coach Jacob Jackomas and NBA legend Jerry West – and says he is looking forward to linking up with his new teammates.
“I’m just really excited to learn from them,” Johnson said of the likes of Hawks imports Tyler Harvey and Gary Clark.
“They’ve been playing for a long time so I’m just really excited to get a lot of information from them about the game, and just learn and soak up everything.
“[I’m] just a person that’s going to put on a show, have a lot of fun, respect his teammates – no ego, none of that – [and] just try and get out there and win.”
