Breaking down Keldon Johnson’s many attributes and discovering his full potential will be an exciting process for the San Antonio Spurs’ development staff. For as many various capabilities the 19-year-old showcased in his lone season in Lexington, the Wildcat seems to be skilled in many categories without truly keying in on one aspect of his game.
On the flip side, hustle and grit aren’t basketball skills – they’re a testament to the competitive spirit of the player once the ball is tossed for a jump ball and the action begins. Maybe it’s hard to pinpoint which aspect of the game Johnson is going to effect on a given play, but he’ll assuredly work to provide whatever his team needs from him on each possession.
