Will Keldon Johnson wear orange and blue in the NBA?

To stick with the blue blood theme, lets take a look at Keldon Johnson.

Johnson attended one of the best high school academies in the nation, Oak Hill academy in Virginia.

Some of the best recruits in recent memory as well as some NBA superstars have attended the famous Oak Hill Academy.

Players such as Harry Giles, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Quinn Cook and many others are alumni from the academy in Virginia.

This being said, Johnson learned from the best at Oak Hill and will learn from yet another legend when he attends the University of Kentucky this upcoming season.

This season, Johnson will likely start for Kentucky alongside players like Immanuel Quickley. Johnson has some serious potential and will show the country what he is made of at Kentucky.

Like Quentin Grimes, Johnson is also a shooting guard, but unlike Grimes, Johnson can also be placed at small forward.

Keldon Johnson stands at 6’6″, 205 pounds and is a menace in the paint. In the All-American game, Johnson had two blocks while also scoring eight points with three rebounds, three assists and a steal.

If he keeps this up, he will most definitely be a lottery pick come the 2019 draft and potentially even a top five pick if he is that great.

Johnson’s ability to own the paint both on offense and defense sets him apart from the field.
