Developing into the player scouts envisioned when he was a touted recruit of Oklahoma St., Karron Johnson is intriguing several teams as a prospect they could take a chance on in this year’s NBA draft, a source told RealGM.
A 6-foot-8 forward who spent the past two seasons at Shaw University, Johnson has scheduled workouts with seven teams that have let him know they will consider him as a potential second round pick.
Johnson, 23, has overcome issues surrounding his anger management. He averaged 12.3 points and 4.9 rebounds and shot 44.7 percent from three-point range this season.
Johnson had been a heralded prospect before failing to stay at Oklahoma St., and he subsequently bounced from junior colleges to a stable situation at Shaw.
