Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Johnson has been on a tear since the Spring club ball season started through our recent Junior/Senior Showcase a few weekends ago, and he continued to show he is one of the best pure scorers in the Section this weekend at the Fall Varsity Showcase at Liberty High School. Johnson is a lengthy and athletic guard/wing that can score in volume, and is a capable 3-level scorer that continues to gain confidence from deep. Johnson has a smooth handle, uses the crossover, the behind the back cross, the between cross, and the toss cross to create space from his defender. He gets great lift on his jumper with accuracy from the mid-range to the 3-point line, has great body control when contacted on the jumper by his defender, the hangtime to square his shoulders in the air, and the ability to stop on a dime and knock down perimeter shots consistently. Johnson uses the pumpfake to get his defender off the ground, the handle and long strides to get into the paint quickly off the bounce, and can finish with creativity around the basket, or throw it down when he gets a good burst off speed off the wing. Johnson plays the passing lanes well to get deflections, is a solid positional rebounder to push the ball up the court, and has good court vision to find open teammates when on the attack. Flat out gets buckets and looks to have an MVP type season.
