‘Thanks for reppin’ Jeremy Lin tells Johnny Juzang after NBA prospect’s UCLA heroics

NBA veteran Jeremy Lin has praised fellow Asian-American Johnny Juzang after the latter starred in the NCAA Final Four for UCLA.

“EPIC game! Even tho the Zags won it I just wanna shoutout Johnny Juzang,” Lin wrote on Twitter after Juzang’s UCLA were downed by Gonzaga.

“Thanks for reppin, you have a bright future.”

Some observers are suggesting that future could see him drafted as high as the first round in the NBA Draft after his performances for the Bruins.

Juzang – whose mother is Vietnamese – could become the first Asian-American to be drafted in the first round, perhaps as a lottery pick

That pressure did not affect him on the court on Saturday, and he had dismissed it ahead of the Final Four game.
