Paine’s 5-foot-8 senior guard Khalid Johnson brings quick-hit scoring and veteran edge
In the 2025-26 season, Khalid Johnson is a senior guard for Paine who has given the Lions a compact scoring spark, posting 3.0 points per game with 50% shooting from three in limited early action, while ESPN lists him at 5-foot-8 and on the roster as #22.[1][3][5] The bigger story is fit: he looks like a lower-usage, energy guard who can punish spacing lapses, settle a possession, and bring experience from the junior-college path, which can matter as much as raw box-score volume for a team needing poise and perimeter toughness.[4][11]
