What is Keldon Johnson's Floor/Ceiling in your opinion?

So far we've seen two complete extremes of Keldon here at Summer League. IMO we saw the floor and ceiling of him in consecutive days. Let me elaborate first though... Yesterday we seen strictly 3/D role while today we seen him involved in the offense a lot more with his number being called...

Today Thomas Robinson said in a interview after the game he calls him "Baby Russ" and sees a potential superstar. What players does he remind you of? What do you think his floor and ceiling is?

What KJ did tonight was no accident. Good for us.

Floor should be danny green anything else is gravy

That's what I'm thinking too. That makes for a high floor. But he does penetrate a lot better. He could grab and go and also catch and shoot. Danny is much more limited than that.

Floor is Danny Green with handles
Ceiling is a bigger CJ McCollum

I think Keldon would be offended by the green comparison.

I don't think he has Beals athleticism or twitch.

Ceiling - Dwayne Wade or Bradley Beal
Floor - Alternate universe of Danny Green with no clubbing and pure gym rat mode with handles and more quickness

James Harden who plays off the ball and spots up and plays defense

After today my ceiling for him was an elite role player in a Iguodala-Warriors role with a Danny Green with better grab and go floor, but then I heard T Rob's interview and was blown away by what he seen. He see's superstar. I'm not trying to take that at face value but it caught me by surprise cause I just didn't see anything like that.

It's interesting seeing people's comparisons though.

He does look like russ and wheres #3:spin

You know he wears the number three cause he looked up to Chris Paul growing up right?

Iguodala is a good comparison.

Lucky for him, if he does become the next LDN, he won't have TP complaining about him being left wide open, tbh.

I don’t want to overreact to 1 game in the Summer League, but I’m impressed. He was doing it all. It looked very easy for him. Great draft pick. He needs to put on a little weight like Luca, though.

Floor Wes Johnson. Ceiling Chuck Norris.

Too young to say tbh. Summer league can be misleading and I know from experience. lol
But he has talent and looks like a legit NBA player that may even play in his rook season and that is a great start.

Haven't seen either game. Lot of talk about D Green. Is his defense at that level or have the potential to be. On ball? Off ball?

I once said Kawhi’s ceiling was a more athletic Bruce Bowen who could get you 15 a game, and I thought I was being complimentary.

Depends on KJ’s hunger level and how hard he’s willing to work. We seem to have a young core of guys willing to put the work in...maybe he’ll follow suit and turn into a starting level NBA player.

The rookies have a major learning curve ahead of them, so this will take a good bit of time. Tony Parker was the most successful of the late #1 hits of the Spurs in his first year. He had no one in front of him and Pop handed him the keys and he ran with it.

Our newbies need time, coaching, and development. I am encouraged by the first two games.

The Spurs have a number of young guys with potential.
