What a find this kid was last year! I expected that he would be good, but not in the way he was. He had been an outstanding point guard in juco, but we already had a point, so he just moved over and became an outstanding shooting guard. All he did was to tie for the second-best all-time season 3PT% in school history, behind only Ricky Davison's unbelievable season in 2009-10. He averaged 12.5 ppg on a team that did not usually score at a high level.
So how does Johnson improve on last year? It won't be easy. Shooting at the same percentage is not very likely, but he just might be taking more shots if the team plays at a little faster tempo and the main scoring burdens falls on him, and that probably will be a good thing if he takes good shots. His assist/turnover ratio could use some improvement, even for the #2 spot.
