Modest start to season Johnson is averaging 7.2 points and 5.2 rebounds across 24.2 minutes through five games to begin the 2024-25 season for UCLA.

Impact Johnson is in his first season at UCLA and serves as the primary small forward for the Bruins, but due to a relatively soft schedule (and a few games in foul trouble), his production -- at least in terms of scoring -- is down to start the year. While he's just 2-for-9 from distance to start the year, Johnson's overall efficiency is up, as he's shooting a career-best 51.9 percent from the field. He's also third on the team in rebounding.
