Jay Bilas: 'I really like' the Brice Johnson pick

Posted Jun 24, 2016
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas has been an unabashed fan of former North Carolina star Brice Johnson’s game. And he had plenty to say about it when the Los Angeles Clippers took Johnson with the No. 25 pick in the first round. “Well, his senior year was essentially like a contract year and his motor revved as high as it ever has this last year,” Bilas said.
