Chris Johnson is a protégée of former Texas star T.J. Ford. The former Longhorns’ guard would pick Johnson up when he was little and take him to whatever gym he needed to go to. Ford made it a priority to help Johnson, who is from the same neighborhood that Ford grew up in Houston. “He’s the ultimate competitor,” Ford said. “He’s capable of doing anything a coach wants on the floor. He’s a high-caliber basketball player. He just knows how to compete. And he lives in the gym. He’s got a lot of things going for him that can make him a hell of a player.” Johnson said he loves scoring, but he also takes pride in being a complete player. “I love playing defense,” Johnson said.
