Jalen Johnson. I’m really curious about how the Spurs do their due diligence on him. I mean, he easily could be available. I get the concerns: motivation, dedication, outside shooting. I’d like to think he’s like Diaw: seen as lazy or difficult but dud well in the Spurs. Yes, I know the situation is different. I realize he could bust like a less motivated Wiggins. But at 12 the Spurs have to find out for themselves. Anyway, I could see him as a darkhorse, so to speak, for a player they pick if their other guys are gone. I’m not advocating either way, just speculating.
Either he is a steal of the draft or he steals a team’s money.
