Shamari Johnson brings gritty freshman energy and defensive flashes to Greensboro
In the 2025-26 season, Shamari Johnson has shown a sturdy two-way baseline for Greensboro Pride: 61 points on 20-of-50 shooting, 20 rebounds, 8 steals, and 4 assists in 14 games, with a career-high 13 points and 4 steals in a February win over Lynchburg[5][10][13]. The stat line says guard, but the feel says grinder — he competes, gets after passing lanes, and can impact a game even when the jumper isn’t falling. For a team that wants toughness, defensive activity, and a player who already pops in high-intensity moments, he’s worth a serious look[5][13].
