Johnson is a very good athlete who runs the floor very well. Once out in the open floor Johnson attacks the rim with solid body control, aggressiveness, and burst. Johnson has post inside ability in post-ups, and can really take advantage of smaller defenders. When you try to guard taller defenders with him they can have slow feet as he blows by them. Johnson's outside shooting ability is his biggest improvement area and is making strides. He is a top 10 2025 prospect in Minnesota. - u003cemu003eRYAN SCHMIDT  u003c/emu003eu003cstrongu003eOFFERSu003c/strongu003e: College of Charleston, Augustana (SD), Northern Illinois, Concordia-St. Paul, Minnesota-Duluth","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1484016"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1484016' first='Brady' last='Wooley'] - Brady dominated on Saturday in a road win over Delano. He took advantage of the size advantage and finished the game with a statline of 23 points and 21 rebounds. He could not be stopped inside, converting on several finishes through traffic. He was going to work with his back to the basket, being able to get to his left or right hand for a hook or layup. He also threw down a pair of powerful dunks and connected with a triple in the second half.

Effective picking apart the defense on drives, capable of elevating way up for above the rim finishes. His shotmaking abilities make him such a dynamic scoring threat at 6'6, effectively rising up for jumpers over the immediate contest. Defensively, he got up for a few blocked shots, certainly a two-way player in his own right. - u003cemu003eCLAYTON CONOVER  u003c/emu003eu003cstrongu003eOFFERSu003c/strongu003e: Bryant, Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesotarnu003cdiv class=u0022block-core/paragraphu0022u003eu003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1293446"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Ramsey Walz - Ramsey is one of the top 2025 prospects in all of North Dakota and it is easy to see why. He uses his 6'7” frame to his advantage inside, bringing in rebounds and holding down the paint defensively. He is very versatile on offense, being able to score inside through traffic and step out to connect with shots from beyond the arc. Walz moves very smoothly when he is on the floor and has great potential with his combination of size and skill. - u003cemu003eJACK PFEIFER  u003c/emu003eu003cstrongu003eOFFERSu003c/strongu003e: Minot State","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1853648"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1853648' first='Gavin' last='Gores'] - Gores has all the tools. Is this the spring where he puts it together? The 6-foot-8 forward looks the part of a high major prospect. He's big, strong, has wide shoulders, athletic, bouncy, and versatile. He checks a lot, if not, all of the boxes, but maybe doesn't do any of those things quite at an elite level yet. Fortunately for Gores, it's very hard to find a big man that's coordinated with power-five athleticism. They don't grow on trees, which is why I could see high majors rolling the dice on Gores over the next few months. Given his outside shooting ability, budding post game, and measurables, Gores, at the very least, should be one of the top mid-major post prospects in the Midwest. - u003cemu003eEVAN FLOOD  u003c/emu003eu003cstrongu003eOFFERSu003c/strongu003e: UW-Green Bay, South Dakota State, Loyola (MD)","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662160aba39d0"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
