- Social media reacts to the Milwaukee Bucks selecting AJ Johnson in the 2024 NBA draft
The Milwaukee Bucks chose AJ Johnson with the 23rd overall pick in the NBA draft on Wednesday.
The selection was a bit of a surprise, considering he had been regarded as a developmental project and not an instant contributor.

ESPN's Jonathan Givony said Johnson, 19, needs time while his "frame and game continue to develop."
Johnson, from Fresno, California, played in the National Basketball League in Australia last season. His modest averages − 2.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.7 assists − drew some negative reactions from fans across social media.
Many fans, though, remained positive after the Johnson selection.
