Versatile Guard with Pro Experience Brings Grit and Ball-Handling to Southern Illinois
Johnson is a 6'1" guard (born October 14, 1999) who recently graduated from Southern Illinois University in 2024. The Woodbridge, VA native brings professional seasoning after stints in the NBA G League (Sioux Falls Skyforce, 2024-25) and German ProA. Known for his playmaking ability—he averaged 4.7 assists at Indiana—Johnson combines defensive intensity with solid ball-handling. While his scoring punch is modest (12.2 PPG at Indiana), his all-around game, toughness, and experience navigating multiple levels of professional basketball make him a reliable floor general and defensive presence for mid-major programs seeking a mature, experienced guard.
