Tom Izzo compares Kansas basketball star to Magic Johnson

Michigan State basketball will face their biggest test of the early part of the season, and possibly the whole year, when they face off against No. 1 ranked Kansas in State Farm Arena on Tuesday night.

Before the game, Tom Izzo spoke to the media for his weekly press conference, and he made a lofty comparison for one of Kansas’ top players.

Izzo said that KJ Adams Jr. is ‘kind of a Magic Johnson’ for all the things he does for the Jayhawks.

This is a pretty apt comparison for Adams. While Adams might not be one of the greatest players of all time like Magic, he is a rare 6-foot-7 player who doesn’t shoot threes, but he does score, rebound, and set up his teammates with assists.
