Despite playing in a weak conference, Johnson projects as a later first or early second round pick.  He’s a score first point guard, whose numbers in his junior year were very similar to his sophomore year, so I don’t think he has an incentive to return to Nevada.

Strengths: Armon possesses great size to play the point guard position at 6′ 3″ and is strong enough to back down smaller NBA point guards.  Beyond his size, Johnson is an effective scorer making roughly 50 percent of his field goal attempts.  He excels at beating players off the dribble showing a great handle, which has improved with his time with the Wolf Pack.  Defensively, he doesn’t have too many leaks, but he isn’t a lock-down defender.

Weaknesses: Despite his exceptional size, his intangibles as a point guard are not quite there yet.  He still looks to score first, which most teams, especially in the bottom of the first round, aren’t really looking for.  Also, he could add a better outside shot to become a more balanced offensive weapon.
