Keldon Johnson averaged 13.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as a Kentucky freshman. He was named the SEC Rookie of the Year. His best skill is his ability to create his own scoring options. He shot 38% from beyond the college arc and 70.5% FT. Johnson had the same amount of turnovers as assists, something he will HAVE to improve upon to have any chance in the NBA. The Wildcats were 2.3 points per 100 possessions better on defense with Johnson OFF the floor. He needs to lock in more often on that end. ...Johnson played for the U-19, Team USA in 2017, and he was a McDonald's All-American in 2018. ... Johnson is a super-bright kid that is an upside play in the Draft. He is not ready for meaningful NBA minutes yet (in our opinion) but it is easy to foresee him succeeding in the future. His aggressive nature on offense will always give him a chance.

 

Good Advice: In 2012, the 21st pick in the NBA Draft was Jared Sullinger. We advised, "Draft Draymond Green."
