AJ Johnson

Draft Notes

Johnson is a big point guard with great athleticism and a NBA level frame.

A great penetrator who can get into the lane at will, Johnson is an advanced ball handler who can hit you with combo moves and take it left or right.

Does a nice job of getting his own shot. Can create space thanks to his speed, quick first step and handles – loves to get into his shot off the dribble and gets a lot of space on his step-back.

Has a nice floater game and creative layup package. And has awesome above the rim ability.

Has good shooting form and shows plenty of promise as a 3pt shooter.

Adding weight/strength and refining his play-making will be his next areas of growth.
