Chris Johnson Biography

Source: University of Dayton athletic website

June 18, 2012

Summary

He was an unheralded recruit, but quickly earned a reputation as a high-flying, explosive scorer and a rebounder with a non-stop motor. He also earned himself a spot on the 2009 Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team and 2011 Honorable Mention Team.

The athletic 6-foot-6 forward with an 82.5-inch wingspan proved he was far more than a one-hit wonder as a sophomore, being named the winner of the A-10 Chris Daniels Award (most improved player) and Most Valuable Player of the NIT. One of the best rebounders of his size in the country, he was one of just three players to have a 20-point-20 rebound game in 2009-10.

Johnson's development shows no signs of letting up. The senior captain worked hard on his ball-handling in the off-season in order to draw fouls and take advantage of his 82% career FT%.
