Howard’s Julian Johnson brings 6-foot-9 length, defensive upside, and a low-usage freshman profile
In the 2025-26 season, Julian Johnson has been a reserve forward for Howard, producing modest numbers but showing the kind of size and versatility coaches love to develop: 6-foot-9 length, a rebound-friendly frame, and efficient finishing in limited minutes. His game is still early-stage—he’s not a high-usage scorer yet—but his profile suggests upside as a physical, team-first frontcourt piece who can grow into a bigger role. If you need immediate offensive firepower, he’s not that guy; if you want a developmental forward with some toolsy promise, he’s worth the look.
