2001 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Has excellent size to play the small forward or shooting guard positions ... Can really extend the defense because of the fact that he is a consistent 3-point threat ... Owns a smooth first step that he uses to get past defenders and penetrate to the lane ... Has the ability to shoot off the dribble something that most kids need time to develop ... Plays very poised and under control doesn't really let his emotions get carried away in a game ... Wonderful all-around game does a little bit of everything like rebound and look for the open teammate for a pass ... Fast hands and is very good at playing the passing lanes for easy steals ... Has very good ball handling skills for a player of his size could even play some point guard if needed ... Plays with quiet confidence in himself and has shown some ability to be a leader ... Can create his offense off the dribble either on the pull up or using his court vision to pass to an open teammate ...

Weakness: Doesn't have that killer type attitude must strive to maintain his aggressiveness in a game ... Don't have that much upper body strength could stand to lift some weights .... Still doesn't know the ins and outs of a game must continue to hone his fundamentals ... As a coach Johnson can be very frustrating due to his inconsistency one night he can drop 27 point the next night he'll drop 5 points ... Some have questioned his toughness due to the fact that he is not very receptive to physical play ... Needs to protect the ball better as he had to many turnovers ... Needs to stop playing on cruise control and play with some fire although he did show that side more this year ...
