Nick Johnson

Scouting Reports: July 2010 - Johnson has always been one of my favorite players in the class, and this week was no different. He pulled off arguably the dunk of the week when he went down the middle of the floor, cupped the ball at the foul line, took two steps and dunked over Khem Birch. He is extremely athletic and is an adept finisher in the lane. Johnson has a strong body and has the ability to play the point guard position. Furthermore, he is a lockdown defender who could be one of the best on-ball defenders in the class (Jeff Borzello at King City Classic).

Jan 2010 - Johnson was another player who stepped up throughout the game and looked like a big-time prospect. Afterwards, head coach Michael Peck said that he wants Johnson to take on the same role that former Findlay guard and current Texas standout Avery Bradley did – a lockdown defender that can score. While Johnson is not on the same level as Bradley, that is exactly what he can do. He has tremendous elevation on his jump shot and he can also finish very well at the rim. Johnson is a smart player who can handle the ball well and find open teammates (Jeff Borzello at Hoophall Classic)
