In a previous NBA Summer League game, the Miami Heat, who had suffered a 39-point defeat the day before, defeated the Sacramento Kings Blue 102-86. After this game, the Heat won their first Summer League game, while the Kings suffered their first Summer League loss after the victory over China.
In this game, the performance of the Heat's starting wing player Keshad Johnson was eye-catching. Johnson played 25 minutes and 42 seconds, shooting 4-of-6 from the field, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, with a plus/minus of +11. Johnson has shown great shooting ability on the offensive end, and it looks like he's capable of hitting three-pointers from different positions. Johnson also has good individual defensive ability on the defensive end, and he is very strong and has a pretty good confrontation ability, and he also seems to have a high degree of plasticity on the defensive end. At least in terms of the game, Johnson showed all the qualities required of a 3-and-D type wing player, and his maturity and immediacy are to be recognized.
In the previous team's heavy defeat to the Golden State Warriors, Johnson played a total of 27 minutes and 27 seconds for the team, shooting 3-of-10 from the field and 0-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, with 6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block, with a plus/minus of -29. Johnson's offensive efficiency in the last game was indeed not ideal, and he didn't find the feeling of shooting from beyond the three-point line, but his performance on the defensive end was actually commendable. The team's fiasco is also closely related to a variety of factors, and Johnson himself cannot be said to have much to do with it.
Born in June 2001, Johnson is now 24 years old and was the undrafted pick in this year's NBA Draft. However, the Heat offered him a two-way contract immediately after the draft, which also shows that the Heat are very optimistic about his ability and believe that he can be a reliable rotation player. According to the data of the previous joint trial physical test, Johnson's bare foot height is 198.8cm, the arm span is 208.9cm, the standing touch height is 261.6cm, and the weight is 101.6cm. In the NCAA last season, Johnson played a total of 36 games for the University of Arizona, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, averaging 11.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1 steal, 0.7 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers, shooting 53% from the field, 38.7% from three-point range, and 71% from the free throw line. Johnson's traits actually bear a certain resemblance to Caleb Martin, who has just left the team, and he is also taller and stronger. I don't know if Johnson will be able to continue his efforts and play better in the next game.
