Keldon Johnson's devastating new skill is fueling his Sixth Man candidacy

Longtime San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson is putting the finishing touches on what could be a Sixth Man of the Year-winning season. That honor would be well earned and the ultimate reward for a player who has become the heart and soul of the Spurs.

Still, it hasn't always been easy for Johnson. He's had to reinvent himself several times after initially being seen as a potential three-and-D player coming out of Kentucky during the 2019 NBA Draft.

That never happened, but he did manage to average 22 points per game, albeit on a rebuilding Spurs team.
