Now listed at 6’3 as a junior, Johnny has a nice basketball frame out on the perimeter, with the shooting touch that coaches like. Against a scrappy St. Cats team he did a nice job of moving without the ball to create his scoring opportunities, hitting some threes off the catch while also blowing by bad closeouts to get into his one dribble pull-up. His frame allows him to get up in passing lanes defensively, and he showed he could move his feet with the smaller St. Cats guards. He’s averaging a team leading 16.2 ppg for a 9-3 team this season.

Johnny is an unselfish player who was constantly creating good looks for his teammates in the two games I watched over the weekend. He just found ways to get into the lane, and from there was able to kick it out to his shooters, or thread the needle to one of his forwards stepping in from the dunker spot. Was at his best as a facilitator, but recognized when he had the space to go up and finish on his own. Has a long frame at 6′ that helps him get up in passing lanes on the defensive end. Averaged 3.8 assists per game as a sophomore, including 9 in the playoffs against eventual state champs Milwaukee Academy of Science.
