NBA analyst Bill Simmons recently said what every San Antonio Spurs fan already knows about Keldon Johnson: that he's become a crucial locker room piece despite playing less of an on-court role.
"Keldon Johnson's like the emotional fulcrum of their team," Simmons said. "They love him. He's like the guy in that team, and it's like if you're making a big trade for somebody with them, him and Barnes have to be in it, and I think that's two huge locker room guys for them. I don't see them doing anything."
Johnson has had a very interesting career arc thus far.
