London Johnsonranked 56th among the best high school students in the class of 2023, will not play his “senior” season at his high school in Norcross, Georgia.
According to information from The Athleticthe young “combo-guard” has indeed signed up with Team Ignite in the G-League for the 2022/23 season, which therefore means that he is upgrading by one year and joining the promotion of 2022. On the university circuit, he was notably recruited by Alabama, Arizona State or Auburn.
” The main reason behind this choice is adversity. To be able to play against NBA-caliber talent “So declared London Johnson, who still according to The Athletic will receive a salary that exceeds one million dollars. ” And seeing the success of other prospects who have also taken this path, I feel like I can succeed too. I have the feeling that my game will be better transcribed [en G-League] thanks to the space on the ground. »
Our colleagues also add that it should be a two-year commitment, since London Johnson will only be 18 next year and will therefore not be eligible for the 2023 Draft.
