Keon Johnson

[TBpup]

On the 'up' side, he does have a 48" vertical.

I just got done watching some of Johnson tapes. His strength is mid level and into the basket. He can also handle the ball pretty well so he set himself up or others. He has great jumping ability but what impress me so much how he moves his feet on defense. Some people says he just athletic without the skills I disagree I seen a lot skills in his game.

 

[BBert]

Johnson shot 27.1% from 3 in college
27.3% in the pros.

Oof

I think the writing on the wall has now been scribed


Dame will be traded

no way Jody pays $50 million a year


Bledsoe traded to Chicago for our pick back??


CJ goes to New Orleans? (So long as he goes I guess)


THIS IS A REBUILD-FROM-SCRATCH and because of this I don’t see Dame staying. Highest bidder?

 

[Cugel]

At this point I would applaud Dame if he leaves because the team is not supporting him. Jody is a joke. Paul: clearly a genius, but she would not be essentially managing billions if she weren't his sister. She's a fucking joke of an owner. The anti-midas touch. Everything she touches turns into a shit sandwich.

He played right under the nose of Billups - so I’m “hoping” he’s a diamond in the rough!
Dame is gone….

 

[Cugel]

I have yet to see any Clippers' fans lamenting the loss of Keon. Not a single tweet.

 

[Blazinaway]

Oof

LOL yeah a HUGE sample size, 15 games played this season averaging 9 minutes, lets give the kid a chance

I will happily bet that Dame is on the roster next season.

Yes but how happy will Dame be opening night?

 

[Pinwheel1]

This dude better turn into Kawhi 2.0

Did we really give up that much that we better get back a MVP-type player in return?

 

[LayneStaley]

I could see a future lineup of Simons/Keon/Little. It would be insanely athletic. Put Ben Simmons with them and we probably have something.

 

[Pinwheel1]

....except with Jerryd Bayless T-Rex arms.

Not sure 6.7" 1/4 is the same as 6.3.

Oh.

I would think Joe along with Chauncey and Dame looked at this move and maybe another to come before deadline.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Excuses and rationalizations.

 

[Predator]

Next Clyde Drexler!

 

[TBpup]

Not sure 6.7" 1/4 is the same as 6.3.

But Keon is taller. So proportionately, it is similar. #BiggerPicture

All cut from the same high flying cloth. We need a star PF. Even John Collins looks good right now.

If Simons wasn't horrifyingly inconsistent, and if Keon wasn't a scrub, and if Little wasn't a perpetual invalid.....

Look who comes out of the woodwork to give their much needed two cents.

 

[THE HCP]

Standby while I cut together a quick package together that makes Greg Brown III look like Scottie Pippin!

No worries, I'm not staying. You can return to your regular program of excuses, rationalizations, and sunshine pumping!

Hahahahahahaha

This dude. Still trying to rationalize and bully people because you fart rainbows and see through rose colored glasses.

This is hilarious.

sorry no, it's worse.

Jarryd was measured 6'1.75 with a 6'3 wingspan & a standing reach of 8'1"

Keon was measured 6'3.5 with a wingspan 6'7.25 & a standing reach of 8'1"

Back in the day I posted umpteen times that with Jarryd's athleticism, if he could just develop a consistent J he could be a real player. Unfortunately, be it bad form or whatever, thats not a skill thats been easily added by guys in similar situations in the past. Unfortunately thats where Keon finds himself today.

STOMP

 

[BonesJones]

So he overcame it and became a first-round draft pick last year. Sounds impressive to me.
Look I have no idea how this kid will turn out. But then again no one knows how any draft pick will turn out, yet some are upset that we did not get a first-round pick out of the deal. We did and a lot of people like him to the point that he is an asset, either to trade or to keep.

The problem is, this 1st round pick is a major long-term project (doesn't fit our timeline) and is an undersized guard (as if we need more of those).

 

[BBert]

Bledsoe traded to Chicago for our pick back??

That would be dreamy.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The kid is still only 19. Stats don't mean SHIT at this point.

Exactly. Gary Trent Jr’s 3pt % was .238 in his rookie year.
