Analysis

Johnson has proved to be a steady, efficient point guard, keeping the Nevada offense moving and making his teammates look good. He runs the pick and rolls well, and has a good first step to the basket. He goes strong to the basket off of penetration and is a good decision maker. His perimeter shot needs work, especially his consistency and range from 17 feet out. Johnson is an average defender, doing a good job staying between his man and the basket, though he doesn’t have outstanding foot speed. He also needs to work on closing on shooters.
