London Johnson

Personal Life

London Johnson grabbed headlines when he announced he was signing a contract with the G League Ignite for the 2022-2023 season. “The main (reason) was being able to play against NBA talent and getting coached from the highest-level NBA coaches,” Johnson told The Athletic. “Also, seeing the success from past (prospects), I really felt like I could create my own path and be successful myself.” Johnson initially made a name for himself at Norcross High School. But he has moved quite a bit living in seven different states. Plus, he is a dual citizen of the United States and Jamaica. Johnson was selected for the World Team at the Nike Hoop Summit in 2021. “I feel like my game will translate even better than it does in high school because of the spacing,” Johnson said. “I try to model my game after Chris Paul. He reads ball screens really well and can score from all three levels. He really tries to get his teammates involved, but also can score.”
