Isaiah Johnson is a low-usage, defense-minded Lobos forward with room to grow
Isaiah (Zeke) Johnson projects as a role forward for New Mexico: in the 2025-26 season, he averaged 4.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 13.6 minutes per game, with respectable defensive activity but limited offensive volume. His appeal is in the glue-guy details—he can disrupt plays, competes on the glass for his size, and has shown enough perimeter touch to keep defenses honest, even if consistency is still developing. If your team wants instant scoring, he’s not that guy; if you want length, effort and a rotational connector, he fits the bill.
