Expert Analysis

WHY?
13-7 record. He is known as a three-point shooter who can fill-it-up. Johnson can also get buckets in the paint with his skill and creativeness. Does North have anyone who can slow Justin down? Johnson can also cause problems on defense, it will be interesting to see if he can get into the North guards and force turnovers. Will Johnson be one of the best lead guards at the Breakdown?

Justin had a quiet first half for DeLaSalle, but came alive in the second when they needed him most. He fits into the DeLaSalle stereotype of a guard that can defend hard, and offensively he provides a shooting option to help spread the floor for some of his team’s slashers. Late in the game he showed no fear with the ball in his hands, and knocked down a handful of key shots to help his team come back and force overtime. Showed some nice footwork to drive and play off two feet around the basket, including hitting a tough turnaround jumper along the baseline. He’s the type of player who can contribute as a 3&D type of guy, but can also take over and create off the dribble when his team needs him to.

Justin caught fire on Saturday and needed to be accounted for at all times from well behind the three-point line. He plays a lot like his older brother Kyle in the way that he can heat up in a flash from deep. He was creating looks for himself off the dribble, as well as knocking down shots off the catch. Johnson is a very confident shooter and was letting it fly with no hesitation. He should be in for a large role this season for the Islanders as they lost a huge 2023 senior class.
