The former Florida Gator and recent third-team All-American selection for the Wildcats became one of just 12 players in K-State history to score 600 points during a single season with the Wildcats.

He helped lead the Wildcats to the Elite Eight during his lone season in Manhattan.

Johnson and the Thunder take on the Dallas Mavericks at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on ESPN2, during their first game of Summer League play in Las Vegas. He sat out of both games the Thunder played in Utah’s Summer League due to a right hamstring strain.
