A hallmark of John Thompson III’s time at Georgetown has been his usage and, as a result, production of his freshmen players. In JT3’s 12 seasons, 10 freshmen have appeared in either the Major (used in 24-28% of total possessions) or Significant (used in 20-24% of possessions) Contributor section of KenPom. Last season was no different, as Jessie Govan and Marcus Derrickson both found themselves getting heavy rotation for the Hoyas.
The third member of the Georgetown freshman class, Kaleb Johnson, did not. Johnson found himself in the “Limited Roles” section, used in just 14% of possessions, second-lowest of all scholarship players ahead of just Trey Mourning.
