Johnson averaged 18.8 ppg last season for the Nets while shooting 39% on his 3’s. After showing flashes of potential in previous seasons, Johnson took a significant leap last year, cementing himself as a potential cornerstone for any team future.

A versatile wing with the ability to guard multiple positions and contribute on both ends of the floor, Johnson has drawn interest from several teams looking to bolster their playoff chances while also balancing cap flexibility. He would be a good fit for the Rockets because of his scoring and abilty to play defense.

Houston has been rumored for several players as the draft approaches in the coming weeks. The 10th pick is starting to become a high interest pick for most teams.
