<p>With the early signing period in the books and the state of California high school basketball still in flux due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we figured now would be a good time to highlight some of the state’s available seniors. In this series we’ll provide evaluations on the best available prospects in their final season of high school competition. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="839205" first="Christian" last="Johnson"]</strong>, Lynwood - Steady and high IQ scoring point guard whose best when pulling up on the perimeter off the bounce. Smart, active and high energy defender. Doesn’t get sped up when handling under pressure. The 6-footer is willing to take and make shots with the game on the line.</p>
