Dakari Johnson

Johnson was the 48th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. At Kentucky, he had his minutes limited because the roster was stacked, and Kentucky coach John Calipari opted to run a ludicrously deep rotation to accomodate all the swag-players he recruited. Johnson has considerable size, towering at 7-feet-0 and weighing in at 255 pounds. He ended his sophomore season averaging 6.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.9 blocks, 0.7 assists, and 0.4 steals in 16 minutes per game through 39 games. His best assets are his size and rebounding. During the Orlando Summer League, he recorded the third-best rebounding average with 8.6 boards per game. Johnson's potential lies in his ability to protect the rim and develop a strong inside-offensive game. He's buried on the depth chart behind Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, Serge Ibaka, Mitch McGary, and Nick Collison, so it's hard to imagine that new head coach Billy Donovan will have much use for Johnson in his rookie season. It's more probably that Johnson spends the majority of the season in the D-League with the OKC Blue.
