K.D. Johnson, who averaged 17.5 points per game in two outings for Georgia last week, has been selected as the SEC Freshman of the Week, the league office in Birmingham, Ala., announced on Monday.
Johnson, a 6-1, 190 native of Atlanta, saw his first action of the season last week. He poured in 21 points on Wednesday against Auburn, the third-highest effort ever by a Bulldog in their UGA debut behind only Dominique Wilkins and Anthony Edwards. Johnson added seven rebounds, four steals, two assists and two steals versus the Tigers.
On Saturday, Johnson scored 14 points while shooting 62.
