2006 PROSPECT: One of the top point guards in his class, Johnson showed this past weekend at the AAU Western Super Regional why he reminded so many of Jameer Nelson of St. Joseph ‘s University fame in that he has a nice body to go with his quick feet and ability to handle. He is not the best of shooters but when it comes to scoring the rock, there are not too many better. Johnson has amazing confidence and he certainly lets that be known. In a game versus the Jots (White) he ended the game with an “and one” dunk on Zach Kuba of Shadyside Academy that brought the crowd to their feet.

Johnson’s season statistics show his versatility. He’s one of the leading scorers in the WPIAL with a 24.6 average. But he also is good for 8 assists, 6.9 rebounds and 5 steals a game. He is shooting 78 percent from the free-throw line and has helped Quaker Valley to a 13-1 record.  “He might be only 5-9 at the most, but he’s very strong,” said Quaker Valley coach Tom Demko. “Plus, he just plays under control offensively and defensively. As far as rebounding, it’s a lot about desire—and he has the desire.”
