Long, rangy and quick, Johnson burst onto the national scene last spring after a
excellent junior season at Southwind. An strong defender with good feet and
quick hands, Johnson also proved to be a bigger threat on offense than
most thought he was earlier in his career.
"I wanted to go to a basketball school and really, Marquette was the only basketball school on my list," Johnson told Rivals.com. "My ultimate goal is to make it to the next level (the NBA) so I had to go somewhere they were goning to help me get there."
"They (built) a relationship with not just me but with my mom, my stepdaddy, my brother and my sister. I'm coming in with a great player, we'll have a Top 5 class. They're in the Big East, they're always ranked every year."
Johnson is very good driving along the
baseline, can keep defenders honest via the long ball and is developing a nice mid-range game that features and assortment of floaters.
