Johnson tallied 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 loss to the Lakers.

Johnson elected to play in Australia rather than commit to Texas, and despite shaky results down under, the Bucks were impressed enough with his work at the combine. Johnson is likely headed to Milwaukee's G League team as a project for the future. He has a lot of raw talent, but his thin and wary frame needs some development. Still, there's merit to Milwaukee's pick when you consider the aging group of guards ahead of him. Giannis Antetokounmpo may find himself without a supporting cast in a few years if he chooses to stay in Milwaukee, and a promising guard who is a couple of years from full-time play fits well with the team's long-term future.
