// PHYSICALS
Official Measurements 6'9" Barefoot 250.6 lbs. 7'3.5" Wingspan 8'11" Standing Reach
// STRENGTHS
Games Watched All of Michigan's NCAA tournament games Michigan v. UC Irvine Michigan v. Santa Clara Michigan v. Saint Joseph's Michigan v. East Carolina Michigan v. North Texas Michigan v. Michigan St. Strengths - Johnson is incredibly strong and it shows in every aspect of his game, he will be more than ready for NBA level physicality. - While Johnson is a bit undersized for a potential center, his wingspan and physicality make up for most of those issues. - Johnson is an immovable object on both sides of the ball, having one of the strongest anchors in the class. - Johnson is one of the most impactful defenders in the entire class from an eye test and based on his statistics. He averaged 1.1 BPG, 0.7 SPG, a 4.8 BLK%, and 4.4 DBPM. Being the best defender on a stacked Michigan roster really paints the picture of just how great Johnson really was this season. - Opponents shot just 33% from the field when guarded by Johnson, and 25% on all jumpshots. - His physicality and length allowed him to match up against 5's in college, and I have no doubt he can be just as versatile at the next level. - Johnson is more than capable of guarding on the perimeter, showcasing rare agility and lateral movement for a player of his size. - His rare mix of fluidity and length, as well as his ability to get around screens make him a true lockdown defender that can be asked to guard any position on the court. - He shows pretty good acceleration and deceleration ability, being able to recover pretty quickly when need be. - Johnson finished around the rim at an elite rate, shooting 72% on all rim attempts, and having a 67.7 TS%. While his offense is very traditional for a big, there is immense value in how great of a lob threat and overall play finisher he was. However, he did showcase some nice touch and footwork in the paint, shooting 62% on post-up's. - Johnson is a freight train in transition, finishing 81% of his shots. This is an area that is likely to be one of his best at the NBA level alongside better playmaking guards. - Johnson doesn't really need to be schemed open, as he recognizes cutting lanes and creates for himself in the post routinely. - His frame and physical playstyle make him a great screener. - Johnson hauled in 7.3 RPG, with 2.5 of them being OREB. In addition, he averaged a great 12.8 OREB%. He achieved this by simply being the most physical player in the paint at all times, converting lots of putback opportunities and creating second chance shots for his teammates.
// WEAKNESSES
Weaknesses - His playmaking is a big work in progress at this point, with him only managing a 0.9 AST/TO rate. This isn't a massive deal given his archetype of player, but he will definitely need improvement in this area to become more well rounded. - Johnson is slow to read the floor in scenarios where he's posting up and kicking the ball out, often telegraphing his passes into turnovers. - While Johnson knocked down 35% of his threes, he only attempted 34 of them this season. This averages out to 0.9 3PA per game. I'm actually optimistic he can be a half decent shooter at the NBA level, but don't expect him to be an immediate floor spacer. To add a little more fuel to him eventually becoming a solid shooter, Johnson shot 78% on his FT's this season. - He averaged 2.3 fouls per game, and 3.7 per 40 minutes.
