What has been assumed for some time is now official — Keon Johnson will enter the NBA Draft and hire an agent. The report this morning comes from Draft Express.
Johnson, a former five-star prospect out of Bell Buckle, Tennessee, will become the second Volunteer to enter the NBA Draft early. Fellow five-star prospect Jaden Springer has also entered the draft, also hiring an agent. Both are expected to be first round selections, and each have been consistently projected to go inside of the top 15.
Johnson averaged 11.3 points per game as a freshman at Tennessee this season.
