Background:

Growing up in Texas, Johnson would have a great high school career where as a junior, he led his school to a state title. As a senior, he was a McDonald’s All-American. He was a 5 star recruit, and he committed to Texas. There, he emerged as Texas’s star player, and led them to an NCAA tournament appearance.

Pros:

Great shooter with a variety of moves

Skilled ball-handler who is crafty in that regard

Great off-ball scorer

Good potential as a passer, can be a good initiator

Clutch gene

Cons:

Is a cone defensively, everything in that regard is terrible

Needs to improve shot selection

Not a good finisher

Summary:

Johnson has an elite offensive skillset, and he has great ball handling and shooting ability. He also offers potential as a passer. However, he will more than likely be a liability defensively. At his ceiling, he is an All-Star talent who can be an effective 3rd or 4th option on a contender. At his floor, he’s likely a primary scorer off the bench.
