NBA Draft Big Board 1.0: Cunningham, Mobley, Suggs, And The Best Of The Rest
By Evan Wheeler
31. David Johnson, G, Louisville
Measurables: 6-foot-5, 210 pounds, 6-foot-9.5 wingspan
Class: Sophomore
Age: 20
Mike’s Ranking: Unranked
Evan’s Ranking: 26
David Johnson is another player going unranked on virtually every big board and it’s sort of puzzling. He’s got tremendous two-way potential and has shown some mesmerizing playmaking ability to go with great court vision.
His handling skills need some work as he’s not a consistent enough shot-creator to be a go-to scorer and maybe never will be, but his potential to be a swiss army knife as a combo guard should be intriguing enough to get him drafted.
Another example here of Johnson's court vision, his teammate misses the shot, but this is like having eyes in the back of your head. Throws a behind-the-head hook pass...there aren't 20 guys in this draft that can make this pass. Just absurd to me he's not being ranked. #NBADraft pic.twitter.com/h8RAd8U46R
