2024 Fantasy Outlook
After two quiet seasons to begin his NBA career, Johnson burst onto the scene in 2023-24, averaging 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.3 made three-pointers in 33.7 minutes per game. He was also efficient for a 22-year-old, posting 51.1/35.5/72.8 shooting splits. However, the 2021 No. 20 overall pick struggled to stay on the court, missing a 14-game stretch to end the 2023 calendar year due to a wrist injury before sitting out 13 of Atlanta's final 21 games because of an ankle sprain. Health will be Johnson's biggest concern heading into 2024-25, but there's also a litany of wings who need playing time, including No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher and 2019 No. 4 overall pick De'Andre Hunter. On the flip side, Atlanta moved on from a high-usage player in Dejounte Murray this offseason, sending him to New Orleans in exchange for Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance and two future first-round picks. Johnson figures to have a starting spot secured to start 2024-25, but if he misses extended time due to an injury again, he may fall down the pecking order fast. Johnson wasn't elite in any single category during his breakout campaign, and due to missed games, he finished 96th in eight-category leagues. However, the 6-foot-8 forward is solid in every category and could flirt with first-round value if he stays healthy all season. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Johnson's collegiate career only lasted 13 games, but it was clear he had NBA-caliber talent despite the small sample size. He opened the season with a 19-point, 19-rebound outing against Coppin State, ultimately starting the first four games before a foot injury forced a brief hiatus. Three games later, Johnson was back in a limited capacity for ACC play. His highlight was a Jan. 19 contest against Pittsburgh in which the 6-9 forward produced 24 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks. Johnson ended up logging seven games after that before ultimately electing to opt out the remainder of the pandemic-shortened season to focus on the NBA Draft.

Records triple-double in win
FAtlanta Hawks
November 13, 2024
Johnson recorded 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Johnson shouldered a lot of the playmaking responsibilities, tallying a season-high 10 assists. With Trae Young sidelined due to an Achilles issue, it was Johnson who stepped up, continuing his strong start to the season. Despite some off-shooting nights, he has been relatively consistent, and at this point, we may just be scratching the surface when it comes to what he is capable of on a basketball court.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson increased his role significantly during his sophomore season, averaging 5.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 14.9 minutes per game. He was well off the radar in standard leagues, but savvy managers would have noticed the upside. He still needs to work on his offensive game, something that should improve as he gets more reps. On the defensive end of the floor, things are far more promising. With John Collins finally being traded, Johnson should be able to take some more steps forward this season. Both De'Andre Hunter and Saddiq Bey are likely to be ahead of him in the rotation, although Johnson could very well be the first forward off the bench. If he can carve out a 22-minute role, he could flirt with top-140 value in nine-category leagues. If you are happy with your roster heading into the final round of a standard league draft, Johnson is someone to consider, just in case the coaching staff decides to hand him a sizeable role off the bat.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not going anywhere
FAtlanta Hawks
June 24, 2024
Johnson has been deemed untouchable in trade conversations, Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson showed why he should remain a core piece of the Atlanta roster during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.7 minutes per game, all career highs. While the Hawks may need to make decisions on whether to extend or trade Trae Young and Dejounte Murray in the somewhat near future, Johnson is considered the only player Atlanta won't include in trade talks, per Sidery.
