Summary:
Markell Johnson is a pass-first point guard that can score the basketball in a variety of ways. He’s an athletic playmaker that can rack up assists, and he also excels at scoring on quick drives to the basket. He’s struggled with his outside shot this season, and he may need to show that he can guard taller players at the next level, but Johnson is a talented player that could be a second round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
