Shamar Johnson brings veteran LMU toughness and glue-guy production
In the 2015-16 season, Shamar Johnson was a sturdy 6-foot-6, 250-pound forward who started 29 of 31 games for Loyola Marymount and produced 5.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 20 steals, and 30 assists while earning praise as an NJCAA All-Conference transfer and future team captain[2][10]. His value is less about flashy box-score stuff and more about physicality, reliability, and leadership—he played heavy minutes, defended with activity, and gave the Lions a grown-man presence inside[2][10]. If a team wants a tough, experienced frontcourt piece who can stabilize a rotation, he fits the “do-the-dirty-work” bill nicely[2][10].
