The Warriors' busy Thursday afternoon continued into draft night and even thereafter.

Johnson played in 33 games for the Blue Demons last season, averaging 14.2 points on 42.6 percent shooting from the field and 41.2 percent from 3-point range, along with 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 36.0 minutes.
The 24-year-old played at three different colleges. He started his collegiate career at Troy before transferring to Iowa State where he redshirted his first season, and then transferred to DePaul in the 2021-22 season where he played only 10 games due to a hand injury.
