Expert Analysis
Ari Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Helping fill the sizable shoes of PG County’s all-time leading scorer in Cam Ward (now at Michigan State), Johnson has been called upon to step up significantly after years as a valued secondary option. He’s answered the bell nicely thus far, leading the Lions so far this season with his hard-charging downhill style. Johnson is consistently a problem for opposing defenses to keep in front with a blend of physicality, ball skills, and a quick first step that he uses to attack the basket with impunity. He shows that he can keep things honest with his feet set from beyond the arc and really thrives with his ability to play passing lanes before getting into transition for highlight finishes. While a bit unrefined for the D1 level, Johnson’s productivity and motor make him a nice scholarship-level option late in the cycle, with D2s, JUCOs, and prep schools all highly likely to benefit from his services.
