Johnson averaged 15 points and 11.6 rebounds per game in 2017-18. He is a "late bloomer" that was 5'9" as a high school freshman. As a result of his growth spurt, Johnson has forward size but guard skills. ...Johnson has versatility to his game. He had a 1.27-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio as a SR. ...Johnson is 6'8" but his wingspan only gives him an extra inch (6'9"). ...He is an excellent rebounder with the motor and bounce to get boards outside his area. ...Johnson is a player that could hit or miss solely based on his three-point shooting accuracy, or lack thereof. If Johnson, who shoots an easy ball, can connect at a higher rate than the 28% 3-pt. he hit in 2017-18, he will probably earn the trust of coaches. ...We thought Johnson was among the better players at the 2018 NBA Draft Combine. He makes sense as a draft pick at some point.

 

Good Advice: In 2005, the 35th pick in the NBA Draft was Ricky Sanchez. We advised, "Draft Ersan Ilyasova."
