Summit League POY and Denver’s go-to shotmaker
Johnson was Denver’s primary scoring engine in 2025-26, averaging 20.1 points and 3.0 assists while starting all 32 games, and he won Summit League Player of the Year[3][9]. His calling card is shot creation: Denver says he finished with 18 games of 20+ points, including 10 of his last 12 regular-season games, and he added 87 threes and 88.2% free-throw shooting, showing real late-game reliability[16]. He’s a strong fit for teams needing a high-usage guard who can carry offense and make tough shots, though his modest rebounding and defense suggest he’s best paired with more physical help around him[2][6].
