After a standout freshman campaign in Texas’ inaugural SEC season, Longhorns guard Tre Johnson is officially headed to the NBA — and he’s making waves on draft boards.
Johnson was projected as the No. 5 overall pick by ESPN analysts Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo in their latest NBA mock draft released Tuesday, with the Philadelphia 76ers pegged as his likely destination.
“The Sixers, already eliminated from the postseason, would be thrilled to keep their pick after a miserable season and could have interest in adding a 19-year-old wing who’d bring plenty of scoring power,” Givony said.
