With that, let's explore my prediction for Johnson's potential stat line for next season. After all, more minutes and more shots are the usual ingredients for a breakout season, and he certainly appears poised to have one. This sets up Johnson to step into a bigger role. While perhaps hard to imagine, San Antonio ranked just 21st in offense last season and saw three players who roughly averaged a combined 44 points per game leave in free agency.
That bodes well for the Spurs, who will need him to emerge as a third scoring option or risk being among the league's worst offensive teams next season.
After having spent part of the summer playing with Team USA, San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson could be in for a big 2021-22 season.
