Expert Analysis
Ari Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Controlling the game from the opening tip, Johnson impressed with mature levels of poise and composure throughout. The sophomore guard did the bulk of the ballhandling for West Catholic, taking pristine care of the ball while playing with advanced pace and selectively pushing tempo when appropriate. He put solid pressure on the paint off the dribble, probing well off of ball screens and doing a good job of patiently taking what was there for him as a scorer. Despite being on the smaller side, he showed solid strength to be able to take on contact as a finisher at the rim. Johnson showed himself to be a capable perimeter shooter with his feet set but didn’t present much of a pullup threat and did have some struggles with his efficiency at the foul line. Nonetheless, he finished with 20 points while continuing to establish himself on scholarship radars moving forward.
