Louisville guard David Johnson was selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 47th pick overall of the 2021 NBA draft.
As a sophomore in 2020-21, Johnson was the only player in the ACC to rank among the top 25 in both rebounding and assists, averaging 12.6 points, 3.2 assists (15th in the ACC) and 5.8 rebounds (21st). Though his numbers dipped towards the end of the season, Johnson was still an honorable mention All-ACC selection.
Johnson becomes the 77th Louisville player to hear his name called in the NBA Draft. Ten Cardinals have been selected over the last nine years.
