A bit player as a freshman, Johnson has blossomed with an expanded role this season. He is second on the team with 1.3 defensive win shares and second in the Pac-12 with 2.09 steals per game.
LOS ANGELES — With USC holding a four-point lead with less than three minutes left Thursday night against Washington State, Drew Peterson left his man open on the perimeter to double-team Mouhamed Gueye. Having a career night, the forward demanded the attention as he posted up.
His intuition paid off. Peterson’s man, Carlos Rosario, cut from the elbow to the rim. Gueye passed to his teammate, but Johnson jumped the lane and stole the ball, a key stop as the Trojans preserved an 80-70 win. After being a bit player as a freshman, averaging 7.5 minutes per game, Johnson has blossomed with an expanded role in 2022-23. A captain and starter as a sophomore, Johnson is second on the team with 1.3 defensive win shares.
