Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Johnson appeared in just 27 games (17 starts) for the Volunteers in his pandemic-shortened singular season of college basketball. While Johnson wasn't the team's top recruit on paper, he ended up serving as the primary small forward and making the SEC All-Freshman team. He and fellow freshman Jaden Springer led the team in scoring at 11.3 and 12.5 ppg respectively. Johnson also checked in at third on the Vols in assists at 2.5 APG, in addition to respectable averages of 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals. He did get a taste of NCAA Tournament experience, but Tennessee fell in the opening round to an Oregon State team that eventually landed in the Final Four. Still, Johnson's scoring was at its best down the final stretch, as the 6-5 wing averaged 16.8 ppg over the season's last five games.
ANALYSIS Johnson will receive his first start as a member of the Nets, with his last start coming in the 2021-22 campaign with Portland. Across his last five outings, the 22-year-old guard averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 24.0 minutes per contest while shooting 39.1 percent from the field.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Johnson has yet to establish himself as a viable commodity in the NBA, having spent two seasons playing limited minutes in Portland. Unfortunately, he suffered a dislocated finger in the opening game of the 2023 Summer League, prematurely ending his tournament. Johnson was then traded to the Suns this offseason as part of a blockbuster deal that landed Damian Lillard in Milwaukee. Johnson is still a raw prospect and likely won't handle a significant role to start 2023-24.
Johnson put together a strong finish to his rookie season and followed it up with an impressive Summer League. During said tournament, he averaged 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 31 minutes per game. The Trail Blazers appear as though they are going to push for a playoff spot this season, meaning Johnson could be pasted to the bench on most nights. However, if he manages to land a few extra minutes as the season progresses, he could at least be a name to watch in deeper formats.
Johnson was the 21st overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, heading to the Clippers. He's an explosive athlete with a defensively-tilted skillset. He'll need to become a better three-point shooter and playmaker to maximize his talent at the NBA level. He's not expected to be an every-game player for the Clippers this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stifled in Portland
GPortland Trail Blazers
December 22, 2022
Johnson has appeared in just 13 games for the Trail Blazers thus far, averaging 13.3 minutes per contest when utilized.
ANALYSIS Johnson is shooting a career-high 38.0 percent from the field. He's also shooting a career-high 38.1 percent from beyond the arc on 3.2 attempts per game. While his overall efficiency is very subpar, it's hard to gauge Johnson's performance in such an inconsistent role -- a role which is unlikely to change for the 20-year-old due to Portland's depth. Across 12 starts last season, Johnson averaged 12.3 points points per game on 38.9 percent shooting.
