Morez Johnson

Johnson is a powerfully built big man, constant double-double threat, and versatile frontcourt defender. He’s not the tallest or most offensively skilled, but strong from head-to-toe, physical on both ends of the floor, and very efficient in his role. Defensively, he can bang on the block, provide a physical deterrent to opposing drivers, and really clean the glass (9.8 rebounds per game). Simultaneously though, he can also move laterally and use his length to contain opposing ball-handlers in pick-and-roll action. Offensively, he’s a little limited in the post and not yet a consistent shooting threat beyond 15 feet, but nonetheless very effective within his role. He’s a diligent rim runner, quick roller off ball screens, and very balanced inside the lane, both ducking-in for deep post position and pivoting through contact. Johnson finishes through traffic and scores equally well with both hands around the rim.
