The San Antonio Spurs' season is still young, but long-time forward Keldon Johnson continues to prove them right after they decided not to extend him.
Cal Durrett argues that Keldon Johnson's early-season struggles validate the San Antonio Spurs' decision not to offer him a long-term contract extension. Despite winning Sixth Man of the Year the prior season, Johnson struggled in the playoffs and has posted modest averages of 9.6 points and 5.2 rebounds while shooting 20 percent from three-point range through the first five games.
Durrett notes that Johnson's minutes could decrease further once Tobias Harris debuts alongside rookie Carter Bryant. While Johnson maintains a high motor off the bench, the writer suggests coach Mitch Johnson may cut his rotation role if his offensive efficiency fails to rebound.
