Scouting Reports:
April 2010 - Johnson joined Team Final because they needed a point guard, yet Johnson rarely played the point for the team. He began to do it more often as the weekend progressed, but he seemed comfortable playing on the wing and driving to the basket when getting the ball. The Plainfield (NJ) High School product is nearly unstoppable when he wants to get to the rim. Johnson is strong with the ball and can finish with contact against bigger defenders. He needs to knock down outside jumpers to keep defenders honest, though (Jeff Borzello at Nike EYBL Boo Williams).
July 2009 - The dual-sport star is arguably the most underrated point guard on the East coast, according to an on-looker. He can create for himself and for his teammates with his crafty and quick drives to the lane. No matter what, Johnson finds ways to get to the basket and is good with the ball. His jump shot is inconsistent, though (Jeff Borzello at RBK AA Camp).
