Expert Analysis

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.

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

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.

Matthew has been one of the biggest spring stock risers in Minnesota and he lived up to the hype on Friday night. The 6’5” guard is an elite athlete and was playing above the rim all night, picking up some high flying blocks and almost posterizing a defender. His offensive game is well-rounded, being able to shoot from deep and drive inside at a high rate. Johnson is a very versatile prospect and there is a lot to like with how his game will transfer to the next level.
