A few days ago, there was a ton of slander in the direction of former Kentucky Wildcat Keldon Johnson and his addition to Team USA for The Olympics. “Critics” were calling for Ja Morant or Trae Young to be added to the team instead of Johnson and couldn’t believe the decision that was made. It’s indeed still early, but man did they have a little bit of crow served up on Sunday evening.
In his exhibition debut with Team USA, Johnson was the spark his team needed before heading to Tokyo for The Games. He put up 15 points in his 17 minutes off the bench, scoring 10 of his 15 in the third period and making huge effort plays on both ends of the floor.
