There, he excelled in basketball leading his team with 17.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 6.1 blocks per game. He received McDonald’s All-American honors and was First-team Parade All-American in his senior year.
Following his matriculation, numerous universities sought to recruit John, and he eventually committed to North Carolina University, playing for the Tar Heels for the next three years, before declaring for the NBA Draft in 2012. While at university, John received the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award in 2011, following a season in which he averaged 11.7 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per games. Also he was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, and was selected for the First-team All-ACC the same year.
He was selected as the 14th overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Draft of 2012, which marked the start of his professional career and his net worth, as he signed a rookie contract with the franchise. In his first year, John started nine games and wore the jersey in 63 games in total, averaging just 6.0 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. His numbers increased in the second season as he played in 70 games, 23 of which were starts and he averaged 11.1 points with 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. In 2015 he signed a new contract with the Bucks, worth $45 million over four years which only increased further his net worth.
However, his stats stagnated over the years, averaging around 7.0 points, 2.0 blocks and 4 rebounds per game.
