7’0, 255 pounds

Drafted by Thunder in 2015, Second Round Pick 48

Here’s a player Thunder fans should be excited to watch this Summer. Johnson outperformed EVERYONE’S expectations this season, averaging almost 13 points and 9 rebounds a game while only playing 29 minutes for the Blue. Dakari was never known for his offensive game at Kentucky, partly because of the slew of big men that he had to compete against. With the departure of Ibaka, BillynDonovan is in need of a shot-blocker. Could he already be in the organization?
