According to Keith Smith, UConn forward Samson Johnson has a workout planned with the Utah Jazz.
Johnson played center for the UConn Huskies last season. Johnson comes into this draft as a 4-year senior. He stands 6’10” and weighs 225 pounds. His stats for the Huskies have gone up season by season. He averaged the most minutes per game of his 4-year career last season with 19.3. He started in all 34 games he played, averaging 7.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 76% from the field. Johnson didn’t take a single three and appears to be your prototypical big. We’ll see if this leads to anything, but he seems to be a player Utah might be interested in for their summer league roster.
