2015 NBA Draft: Top 13 Champions Classic Prospects
Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports
10. Dakari Johnson, Center (So.) – Kentucky
On any other team, Dakari Johnson would be a star, and in any other draft class he might be a top five pick. However, in this loaded pool of talent (specifically at the center position), Johnson is an afterthought in many ways. Despite the lack of attention given to him in the media, scouts are well aware of this big man. Johnson hasn’t exhibited any go-to skills at the moment, but a 6’11 250lbs blank canvas of pure potential is an intriguing proposition for NBA execs. This is especially true now that he has seemingly discovered a nose for the basket, as he is averaging 10ppg so far this season.
