Kentucky expresses interest in stock-booming PG AJ Johnson

Following a standout performance at the 2022 Pangos All-American Camp in Las Vegas this week, Kentucky is expressing interest in the fastest-rising point guard in the nation, AJ Johnson.

Johnson, a 6-foot-6 playmaker out of Fresno, CA, turned heads with his production nearly every time he stepped on the floor in Vegas. A polished ball handler with an elite first step and wiggle, he was beating defenders off the dribble left and right to set up crafty finishes around the basket. When he wasn’t scoring at the rim, he was knocking down shots from three or finding his teammates for clean looks.
