“He is a 6-foot-8 wing that can really make shots,” Hillcrest coach Nick Weaver said. “He is very hard to guard because he can score from all three levels. Puff also has an extremely high IQ and can play a 1-4.”

This year on the Nike EYBL Circuit, Johnson averaged 15.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 12 games played.

According to 247Sports, Johnson is ranked No. 48 nationally and is the No. 13 small forward.
