Friday’s under-control performance — complete with a tough game-winner — was proof that Keon Johnson’s maturation is still ongoing.
LAS VEGAS — To get his contract, Keon Johnson has had to get out of the mindset of trying to get his.
But that maturation has been evident in other ways, including Johnson’s willingness to defend and do the dirty work. “In Long Island, he had stretches where he was in a mindset of, ‘I’m trying to get mine.’ That’s where he’s progressed the most, is trying to make the right play more than just score,” said Noah Clowney, who played alongside Johnson in the G-League.
