Summary:
Alize Johnson is an unheralded small-school prospect that had a solid junior season this past year. He is an athletic, combination forward that can score in a variety of ways, and he is an unselfish player that has good court vision for a player his size.
He will need to add strength to be able to handle stronger players defensively and show teams that he can extend his range to past the NBA three-point line, but Johnson is an intriguing talent that could potentially be a first round pick in 2018.
