Brandon Johnson gives Miami a tough, versatile veteran forward with rebounding punch
In the 2024-25 season, Brandon Johnson was Miami’s only player to start all 31 games, averaging 8.4 points and 6.7 rebounds while adding 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game—solid glue-guy production with real toughness.[1][14] He’s not a pure spacer, but he brings physicality, timing on the glass, and late-game poise, including a season-ending putback slam against NC State that showed his nose for winning plays.[13][15] If you want a forward who competes every possession and fits a hard-nosed, do-the-little-things role, he’s worth a close look.[1][11]
