3. Keldon Johnson
Keldon Johnson has shocked College Basketball with his ability as a Shooter. Johnson has shown that he can be a catch-and-shoot specialist and a nifty driver attacking closeouts. His jump shot has made huge strides from the McDonald’s All-American Game.
We haven’t seen much of Johnson coming off of screens or creating for others (10.8 Assist percentage), but he plays extremely hard and he seems like one of those players who will be better once they leave Kentucky. His handle could also use some work as he relies mostly on his strength in order to get to the paint.
Johnson doesn’t have ideal height for SF – DraftExpress.com listed him as 6’6″– but his shooting ability and motor more than make up for it. He’s got a plus wingspan which should help him defend on defense and finish over bigs on offense. Though the Bulls might pick a little too high in order to get Johnson if they do trade back then Johnson should definitely be on their radar.
