Scouting Report
- Nobody in the country has the propensity that he does to create high percentage shots for himself via floor spacing and off the ball movement
-
Gets in transition, turns himself loose after the shot for downcourt sprints leading to easy buckets
-
An off the ball slasher, as he doesn't do much with his dribble from the high perimeter
-
Sneaks under the basket in the half-court set for dishes from his teammates leading to close-range shots
-
Frequently is left open in these situations because of the defensive focus that teammate Marcus Fizer commands
-
Rarely will he even shoot from mid-range, and this makes his production particularly impressive at 6-4
-
Rebounds the ball, garners putbacks
-
Able to snatch caroms in traffic by concentrating his efforts on collecting the initial tips produced by his competitors
-
Runs a 4.3 in the forty yard dash and has a thirty-eight inch vertical leap
-
Father, Cleophus, played in the NFL
-
High school coaches' father played for former ISU coach Tim Floyd's father at Southern Mississippi
-
Floyd babysat Johnson's high school coach as a youngster and it was him who told Floyd about Johnson that led to him coming to ISU.
