physical rim protector with proven rebounding pedigree
Johnston’s value profile is built around size, shot-blocking instincts, and rebounding juice—he was credited with 17.7 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 8 blocks per game in high school and set Colorado’s career blocks record with 409, which points to a true interior deterrent rather than a stats-only big.[1] The ASU record also shows a limited college role and, by 2002, he had left the program and was not expected to play the next season, so the fit question is really about whether you want a developmental center with defensive upside and board-crashing toughness, not an instant-offense post.[2][3]
