Johnson has been one of the driving forces behind Long Island’s 3-1 start, including a pair of home wins last week. The versatile guard averaged 16.5 ppg and 6.5 rpg in the two games, while shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 92.9 percent from the charity stripe. On Tuesday, Johnson posted his first career double-double with 14 points (10-10 FT) and a personal-best 10 rebounds in a 70-60 win over Columbia. He went on to score a career-high 18 points - including 13 in the second half as the Blackbirds rallied back from a 16-point deficit with 16 minutes to play - in a 70-63 conquest of visiting Canisius on Saturday. The Ajax, Ontario native has scored in double figures in all four games this season and leads all NEC freshman with 14.3 ppg. He also ranks second on the Blackbirds with 6.0 rpg and is fourth in the conference with a 90.9 percent success rate from the line.
