The Golden State Warriors is loud enough to announce its new draft prioritizing athleticism amidst Andrew Wiggins and James Wiseman’s frequent trade inclinations. Steve Kerr has to choose from three potentials James Bouknight, Moses Moody and Keon Johnson complimenting Jalen Green’s position and Johnson seems to have the best athletic CV matching the selection profile for the No. 7 overall Pick. The American basketballer displayed good defensive athleticism in the freshman season at Tennessee but lacked shooting.
Johnson moved into the six to 10 range with last month’s 48-inch vertical leap at the NBA Draft Combine being tactful, skillful, and smart for defending NBA guards and some wings. Johnson a strong defender, had added advantages like off-ball movement aiding his season-highs of 27 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and four steals. The question as to what he got to offer Steve Kerr’s squad is yet to be answered.
