A versatile big guard, Johnsen possesses the ability to play inside when necessary, but his recent development as an all-around perimeter threat has made him a must-watch player. With significant upside and room for continued growth, Johnsen is an intriguing prospect who profiles as a valuable addition for high-major Division II or low-major Division I programs willing to invest in his development. Expect him to have a breakout season at Woods Cross this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2024667"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5edb18c266e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2024667' first='Colton' last='Hoenigman'] has been a joy to watch over the past four years, as he has stayed patient, running his own race while waiting for his time to shine.

He plays with a really good pace. He is a player who can run off of screens and have his feet ready to catch and shoot. Out in the perimeter, he can simply catch and shoot and be a shooting guard. You can see that he can create separation from players with simple, quick moves. Britt is a solid next-level player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
