Justin Johnson gives Western Carolina a long, efficient guard with upside
In the 2025-26 season, Justin Johnson is averaging 6.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game while shooting 41.1% from the field for Western Carolina[1][3][4]. At 6-foot-8, he brings unusual size for a guard, which helps him finish around the rim, rebound his position, and create matchup problems when he’s on the floor[1][11]. The differentiator is his efficiency and versatility: he’s already shown he can score in reserve minutes, including a 20-point outing in his prior season, and his profile suggests a useful multi-positional piece rather than just a one-note shooter[1][11].
