Day One at the D-League Showcase

Dakari was great Wednesday.

Dakari Johnson stood out as the most efficient player (over 24 mins. played) on a winning team during the opening day of action (Wednesday January 6, 2016) at the NBA D-League Showcase. Johnson and the Oklahoma City Blue defeated the Delaware 87ers 119-114. Johnson, a 20 year-old, seven-footer, from Kentucky had 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, and six assists (with zero turnovers) in 27 minutes. 

We made a 12-man roster out of the best performers from day one as a way to highlight their exceptional exploits at the Showcase. Click on their name to see highlights (if available).
