I have him 4th on the big board… he should get drafted pretty high Imo he's closer to a Devin Booker than a Cam Thomas.
He's a passing machine.
I definitely think too many are overreacting to some of Johnson's weaknesses (not a slasher, weak rebounding numbers, subpar defender) and part of that is viewing him in the wrong light. Johnson should NOT be looked at as a Wing at the next level–he's a lead scoring guard that should handle the ball A LOT. Johnson's advanced handle, passing ability, and elite pull-up shooting give him the baseline to be a legit on-ball offensive engine within NBA spacing & NBA play-finishers. Defensively, I actually expect him to do well guarding PGs and some SGs. Physical weakness is his biggest weakness and it is a lot less of an issue against opposing team's PGs (esp when he has length on most of them and matches their footspeed).
His basketball IQ is higher than i thought from watching this hes definitely more than just a great shooter future 76er hopefully 🙏🏾
