Expert Analysis
Colby Giacubeno | Prep Hoops Scout
Johnson, along with Stanfield, have been bright spots for the Cardinals as productive underclassmen. The overall record of 11-14 is an indication of the growing pains that come with depending heavily on their younger prospects, but all have shown tremendous potential with sustained development. As for Johnson, he’s a smooth operator as a southpaw combo guard who can get going at any given time as a shotmaker. Whether that be in catch-and-shoot scenarios or getting to spots off 2-to-3 dribbles, his compact and repeatable mechanics bring nice results. Continuing to grow his feel and IQ for time-and-score as well as his ability to make plays with the intent of creating for others are areas of his game that can be unlocked. Still, we are buying high here with Johnson as we moved him up 15 spots from No. 45 to No. 30.
