I think they could use some polishing for sure but both have a ton of upside. Keon is the prototypical NBA wing in today’s game. Hyper athleticism, can create shot at all levels, and guard multiple positions. JRich is a good comparison imho. I feel Springer is more ready IQ wise. His game reminds me of Deron Williams with his size and ability to finish off of 2 feet thru contact consistently. Maybe even some Chauncey Billups...Yes. Johnson will probably be a lottery pick. I've seen varying projections on Springer, but most have him going in the first round too.
Being “ready to go to the NBA” and “going to the NBA” are two different things. The G-League use to be filled with Kentucky one and dones.
The offensive system Barnes runs makes it hard for our 5 star guards to look the part. Springer spent a lot of time this season standing around waiting for fulkerson to cut to the basket instead of playing like he did today when Fulk went out injured. Our 2 five stars averaged about 8 to 9 shots a game in the system. contrast that to Pippen at Vandy who averaged close to 15 shots a game and looks like he could play in the NBA tomorrow. And poor SV who looked like he was going to be a scoring beast last season only averages about 6 to 7 shots a game in this same system.
