Keyontae Johnson Returning To Florida For Junior Season

Florida got some wonderful news on Tuesday as Keyontae Johnson announced that he’ll be foregoing the NBA Draft and returning to Florida for his junior season. After an incredibly productive sophomore campaign that saw him average 14 points, 17.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists while hitting 38% of his threes NBA teams took notice and he starting darting up draft boards, ultimately ending up as someone who would likely be drafted in the second round with some buzz that he could get into the late first.

Much uncertainty surrounds the NBA Draft as a date for the lottery is yet to be announced and it’s likely it will be moved later in the summer, as late as the end of August according to sources.
