Max Wagner | Prep Hoops Scout
After a quiet first half, Matthew took over down the stretch to help his Fury team come away with the win over Wisconsin Breakaway . At 6’5 he’s a long and athletic wing who can play a number of spots on the floor, and showcased a smooth jumper from beyond the arc. He caught fire late in the game, hitting a handful of threes within a few minutes, while also using his length to block a shot in the final minute. Johnson is a fluid athlete who effortlessly moves his feet to defend smaller guards, and has the length to get up in passing lanes and causes issues. Plays with a calm demeanor and never looks sped up on the ball.

A player who appears to be on the rise in Minnesota, Johnson was outstanding for the Fury on Saturday. He buried three-point jump shots from a couple of steps outside the arc, scored going to his left and put in shots going to his right. His offensive fireworks helped the Fury stay close when 24: Up was cruising along to a 12-point lead in the first half. Johnson recently picked up a NCAA Division II offer from Minnesota Duluth and his strong play against 24: Up might lead to more offers down the road.
