Shooting guard
Memphis, Tennessee
Southwind
AAU: YOMCA
Ht:6'3"
Wt:180 lbs
Class:2013 (High School)
It isn't exactly like Jajuan Johnson was an unknown when he took the floor on Friday night. A 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Memphis (Tenn.) Southwind, Johnson took the floor ranked No. 109 nationally in the class of 2013. By the end of the night, though, the slender wing had taken the second session of the EYBL by storm.
JaJuan Johnson scored a team-high 26 points in his team's win over Boo Williams.
Incorrectly labeled on the roster as JaJuan King, Johnson caught fire early, nailing deep three after deep three while mixing in athletic drives to the cup and locking up his opponents defensively. Once the confusion over his name had ended, Johnson emerged as the winner of the night during a command performance in front of a throng of college coaches.
Laid back and cool, Johnson said that he just wanted to get his team off to a good start after dropping in a team-high 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting.
"It meant a lot for us to come out and get a good start," Johnson told Rivals.com. "We didn't win any games in Minneapolis so it felt good to come out and get a win."
Personally, Johnson said it was important that college coaches get to see that he can be a first-option type player.
"They've been waiting for me to do something like that," said Johnson. "I've been behind guys like Nick King and Johnathan Williams III so it's good to show them that I can play too."
Judging by the offer list reported by Johnson, coaches didn't need that much selling. The 6-foot-4 junior said that he feels he has offers from Memphis, Tennessee, Arkansas, Marquette, Cincinnati, Auburn, Florida and Texas.
"I think I'll commit sometime right before the start of my senior season," said Johnson. "I'm looking for a team that gets up and down and puts up buckets."
