Niya Johnson brings spacing and steady guard play to UMass Lowell
Johnson’s current value is as a lower-usage guard who can stretch defenses from three, after leading UMass Lowell in three-point percentage and posting 5.1 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in 25 appearances with two starts in the most recent season. She is not a high-volume scorer, but she gives a team reliable perimeter spacing and enough versatility to fit beside creators who need shooting around them. If you want a guard who can complement others rather than dominate the ball, she is a sensible fit.
