I just watched some video of him off of Yahoo and he reminds me of Antonio Davis a little bit. I don't know if he's my official underdog in this years draft, but I'm rooting for his success. Hw has that hard worker personality. Then again I've only seen 3 of his games so I'm no expert!

He is a hard worker, but I was not that impressed with him this season after watching more than a few of his games (vs UNC, Duke, NC State, and Wake). I have heard that he has shed some pounds and improved alot, so I'm holding him in higher regard than before, but I'm still not completely sold.

johnson has shed some weight and has looked very good in workouts. i think he is a guy that could come in right away and contribute. i liken him to a kenyon martin out of cincinatti because he is very physical real athletic and has a pretty good face up game. i have him going to NJ at 22 they need to find a nice young PF and they had success with Martin there so why not add a Martin type player.

There is rumor that he may slide a little bit to the 2nd round, but I agree that he could be a good fit with a team like the Nets or Lakers. Johnson played average this season, but had a great showing in a win against Duke with a 22 point, 13 rebound performance. He has great size and will make any NBA team's front line better. Not to mention stronger.
