A habitual 30-point-per-game scorer in Class A-Public, two-time All-State performer AJ Johnson will now move up to 6A and try to rebuild Douglas County. Lefty scores in all ways imaginable. Changes speeds, breaks down defenders off the dribble. Pinpoint pull-up jumper. Pound-for-pound possibly the best scorer in the state and one of the most skilled point guards.

AJ has been tucked away in Class A-Public, earning All-State honors his sophomore and junior seasons. Now a transfer to Douglas County cost him an opportunity to be seen at GBCA Live, further putting him behind the eight ball when it comes to recruitment, but when Johnson resurfaces this season, colleges will want to make it a point to watch him. Johnson has a D-I handle and scoring touch. The 5-foot-9 guard scores in every way imaginable as a human highlight reel that is capable of scoring 40 at any given moment. The lefty has the ball on a string as he breaks down defenders and gets to his three-point shot. The way Johnson is able to stop on a dime for his pull-up jumper has defenders’ knees buckling and when he gets into the paint, AJ has a tear drop floater to negate length. D-II schools should be all over Johnson if D-I offers never materialize.

One of the best guards in the state that not enough people know about, AJ is an explosive scorer that has reached the 40 and 50-point plateau multiple times in his career. Standing around 5-foot-9, Johnson is a workout warrior strapped with muscle. He darts across the floor, using both hands equally well. His pinpoint jumper off the bounce and his trademark high-arcing floater are things of beauty. He has the ball on a string and sees the floor when needed. Johnson has been an All-State player in back-to-back seasons and now transfers to Douglas County for his senior season after averaging 27 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
