Johnson on his commitment to Miami

In his own words, what type of player are the ‘Canes getting in Johnson?
“I would describe my game as a 3-level scorer who also takes pride on the defensive end. Very similar and borderline identical to Jordan Miller, a forward who just came out of Miami.”
Johnson has a message for the fans of Miami.

Scouting Report
“It’s the know-how with Isaiah Johnson-Arigu that you immediately notice. He seems to always been in the right place and poised to make a positive play. Standing in the 6-6 range, he uses his near 7-0 wing span to play up a lineup. Offensively, he has good touch which he uses to finish around the basket and in the mid range. He also has good court vision and processing ability. Able to line up from multiple levels, run some offense through and make reads to get players opportunities. The athleticism is a question, is a tweener forward type, will have to answer where does he guard. You like the versatility and the production.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
