Johnson played three years at Louisville before turning pro. Since then, he’s G-League mainstay. Apart from a brief stint with Hapoel Halon, all of Johnson’s pro experience has been in the G-League. He’s spent time with the Windy City Bulls, the Iowa Wolves, and the Motor City Cruise.
He’s contributed across the board. Since leaving Louisville, he’s added a three-point shot. He rebounds well, can block shots, and is a solid playmaker for a man his size. In his last season with the Cruise, Johnson averaged 10.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game while making 36% of his threes and throwing in nearly a block per game. That’s rock-solid stuff. It’s easy to see Johnson being a part of the Ball Hogs’ foundation as they continue to search for a winning formula.
