Shimeek Johnson brings versatility to the court this season, having the ability to score from anywhere on the court in practically any set. His versatility should lead him to quality minutes at the forward position. His size and speed makes him a threat from anywhere on the hardwood. He can score inside the lane, but also has the capability to accumulate points from behind the three-point line. As he gains experience, Johnson could be among the team's leading scorers.
