Keldon Johnson raised his ceiling by raising his floor

The leap that Dejounte Murray made this season has deservedly received the most attention from fans, since he’s turned into a legitimate All-Star. It has also overshadowed how steadily and surprisingly Keldon Johnson has grown this year.

Johnson is averaging 17 points, six rebounds and two assists for the season while shooting 50 percent on two pointers and 40 percent on threes. While the numbers are impressive, it’s even more interesting how he got them, since his game has shifted significantly twice in one year.

The first transformation came in the offseason and was on display early on.
