Johnson was superb in this one as he contributed all over the court for the Hawks and came out on top in what was a tough matchup with Arbor View forward Pharaoh Compton. Two aspects of Johnson's game that have stuck out this week have been his smooth 3 point shooting stroke and his ability to effectively pass out of and over double teams.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1502773"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Eric finished with a superb line of 20 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and three 3's on Wednesday afternoon in Corona Centennial's (CA) win over Sagemont Prep (FL) 83-60.
