Keyontae Johnson drafted by OKC... joins Tre Mann

50th! Way to go KJ!

 

Go make some money!

 

Tre Mann is teetering on the edge at OK City. He has guaranteed money, I believe, but he, arguably, was the worst player on OK City last season. He needs to up his game.

 

His overall stats, including advanced stats, were the worst of any player out of the 19 players who got playing time for OKC. He needs to improve.

 

Interesting tidbit I just read, KJ is older than 8 of his new teammates

 

Dang Grandpa he is.

 

Imagine this: If on that same night you were guarding the opposing team's assist machine and leading scorer, and put him on lockdown for the entire game, then you maybe you greatly effected your team's chances of winning-

 

You play forward and center at 5-10?


Um, I am sure you could get a full ride scholarship to UGa if you want...

 

I really like this viewpoint. We talk almost exclusively about offensive production. But shaving 15 points off the opponent's leading scoring is almost like scoring 15 yourself.

This post brought to you by "Frank Martin and Bob Huggins walk into a bar and talk basketball strategy"...oh wait, too soon.

 

You could argue that Heat lost finals primarily due to differential in scoring of guards. The Nugget center was dominant but Heat were abused by lack of guard scoring with exception of game they won.

Happy for KJ. If did not have that terrible fall or illness, likely a first round pick. Now an older player entering NBA. Older than 8 of us current Thunder teammates. Will not have as many years to earn money or get to 2nd or 3rd contract in NBA, if sticks. Good value pick for Thunder. Wish him great success and health doing what he loves.

 

And you’re dribbling was phenomenal

 

He’s a solid summer league player. That’s for sure. He also statistically and for all other purposes probably was the worst player on the Oklahoma City roster last year. When I get a chance, I can post his stats compared to everyone else’s, but you can be assured that they pretty much were the worst on the team in practically every single category. Hopefully, his summer league performance leads to his doing better in the NBA next season, but there is no certainty with respect to that.
