Since the 2018 recruiting class was finalized, everyone has known that Keldon Johnson was likely to be the top player on this Kentucky Wildcats team taken in the 2019 NBA Draft. In fact, virtually every mock draft has listed him as a lottery pick throughout the season.
Johnson is third on the team in scoring (13.7 points per game) and rebounding (5.8 rebounds), but he has shown his ability to take over in flashes throughout the season. Johnson’s size, athleticism, and energy have always been his greatest assets. But he has not proven himself to be a consistent contributor.
