It’s no secret that R.C. Buford has a knack for drafting steals late in the first-round of the NBA Draft. The latest of his gems to burst onto the scene is Kentucky guard/forward Keldon Johnson, who put on a show after a lackluster performance against Cleveland.
The San Antonio Spurs bulldozed Memphis 99-84 off of Johnson’s game-high 29 points on an efficient 59 percent shooting from the field along with 3-of-4 shooting from behind the arc.
Although his scoring wasn’t necessarily the point of focus from a scouting perspective coming out of his lone season under John Calipari, Johnson showed off the complete arsenal of tools at his disposal in the contest.
