Johnson was the motor and spirit for Oak Ridge despite falling to a buzzer beater. He started the game with a tough layup to break ice and didn’t stop there. Johnson finished the night with 17 total points and countless effort plays. His overall game and upside are incredible. He can shoot the three and draw fouls to get to the line. The mid-range shot was there, and he had some strong finishes at the rim. He was simply the spark for his team until Simpson was able to catch fire in the third.
