assist-first forward with proven floor general instincts
Aaron Johnson profiles as a high-IQ, pass-first forward whose value comes from playmaking, composure, and defensive activity more than raw scoring; in his senior season at UAB, he averaged 11.8 points and 7.7 assists per game while leading the NCAA in assists, and UAB listed him as the program’s all-time assists leader with 664.[7][8] Reliable evaluations also note that he defended at a high level for his size and consistently created offense without needing many touches, which makes him a strong fit for a team that wants a connector, organizer, and competitive two-way presence.[6][8]
