Expert Analysis
Aaron Proia | Prep Hoops Scout
-It’s been interesting to watch this Thrill group compete early on in the season as they have several promising young guards on the roster. But I don’t think any of them can pass the ball as well as Johnson. Loved the way that he pushed the pace in transition while playing under control, using his matchup’s momentum against them in transition to draw off-balance fouls around the rim, find teammates with a flurry of different passes, or score it himself. Johnson threaded the needle with a push pass that hit a teammate perfectly in stride despite traffic in the key for the easy layup, split the double and hit a teammate with a beautiful pocket pass for the bucket under the rim, and understands which players need bounce passes and which prospects need chest passes with more zip. Loved the ball pressure that he applied as the head of the snake for Thrill’s full court defensive schemes or run n jump traps in the halfcourt, taking advantage of his size and speed to rip basketballs away from unwitting bigs on the block or from guards in a vacuum.
