EVALUATION

A mid-level Division I version of Allen Iverson. He is by far the best player in the Northeast Conference. He is an extremely gifted offensive player who plays extremely hard at both ends of the court. Johnson has the ability to play at the next level, whether it be overseas, the NBDL, or possibly the NBA.
