STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: VERSATILE, TWO-WAY FORWARD

Keep an eye out for Keldon Johnson: an athletic, versatile forward who co-stars in San Antonio; tough customer offensively: Keldon’s active in transition, is able to slip in for baskets in the paint (utilizes crossover for leverage); goes really hard to the cup: tough to corral, Johnson has a few moves, including a nice floating push shot/runner - needs to keep developing offense w/ a live ball; highly confident in three-point shot - at the perfect intersection of great accuracy and volume (shot almost 40% on over 5 attempts/night in ‘21-’22); gets a lot of points off baseline cuts & energy on the glass (excellent rebounder, loves to pursue the ball); needs to put for a more consistent effort defensively; one of San Antonio’s top players* (along w/ Wemby & D. Vassell): Keldon’s growing into his own as a lead threat in Coach Pop’s lineup
