Wisconsin post Malayna Johnson brings size, efficient scoring and rim protection
Malayna Johnson has been a productive interior player for Wisconsin, flashing efficient finishing, strong rebounding and shot-blocking as a 6-4 post who can change possessions on both ends. In her Wisconsin career, she averaged 5.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game while leading the team in blocks, and she had a stretch of 8.2 points and 3.8 rebounds over five starts. Her value is in size, paint presence and toughness; the main question for any roster fit is durability, since she previously missed a season with a torn ACL.
