"He has gotten attention from schools this summer, because of his tremendous upside," said father Eddie Johnson. "Not just his ability to shoot but his potential to become a great
defender. His recruiting has skyrocketed because of it."
"Justin is still growing into his body, which seems to be changing on him daily," said Johnson. "He should be flirting with 6-8 about time his senior year starts. He
is 6-7 right now."
At 6-foot-7 and weighing 190 pounds, Johnson has a 72 inch wing span, making him a very long and athletic wing forward. Johnson's has a very good knack for shooting the basketball out to the tree point line and is also a good mid-range scorer. He is a very good defender and shotblocker and plays very good individual defense on the ball. Johnson is also capable of guarding smaller and bigger players on the floor. He can defend guards, wings and some low post players, making him a valuable defensive asset for any team. Johnson plans to major in business or computer science in college, and is an outstanding student with a 4.0 GPA.
