UCLA senior Kobe Johnson said this week that he is enjoying the NBA predraft process and is eager to prove himself to teams in private workouts against his peers.
Johnson was a Big Ten All-Defensive team selection this past season, averaging 7.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals on 36.2% shooting from 3-point range. He ranked 19th in the country in defensive box plus-minus (plus-5.0).
The 6-foot-6 guard participated in the G League Elite Camp last week, averaging nine points and 3.5 rebounds in two scrimmage games. He has also worked out with three teams, including the Golden State Warriors, and wants to showcase two key areas of his skill set in those settings.
