Johnson was selected by the Thunder with the 48th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Analysis:

Johnson was a virtual afterthought for Kentucky over the last few years after coming to Lexington as a highly touted recruit. Often relegated to the bench with superior talent ahead of him, Johnson's minutes were limited, but he has considerable upside as an interior scorer and rim-protector. At 7-1, he has excellent size for the position, and he's just 19 years old. The Thunder will likely stash Johnson in the D-League to start in hopes of developing him at his own pace.
