Former Kentucky Wildcats wing Keldon Johnson will work out for the Washington Wizards on Thursday. He will be joined by Cameron Lard, a redshirt sophomore from Iowa State.
It certainly seems that the Wizards, who are currently without a general manager, are interested in taking Johnson with the ninth-overall pick. However, taking him that high may be a bit of a stretch. Most projections have Johnson falling just out of the lottery into the high teens/low 20s. Sports Illustrated ranks him as the 17th best prospect in June’s NBA Draft.
