Johnson remains a husky

Sophomore guard Carlos Johnson became a favorite of last year’s coaching staff and saw significant time off the bench. Despite standing at just 6’3″, Johnson plays more like a power forward.

He’s capable of crashing the boards and also proved his offensive ability one game versus Arizona State, scoring a career high 19 points. His intensity will be immensely helpful to Washington, but will likely come off the bench.

Junior forward Dominic Green played in 30 games a year ago. He struggled shooting the ball, but did provide some valuable minutes defensively. His 7’1″ wingspan is by far his greatest asset–huge for defending on the perimeter.
