Double-double vs. McNeese Johnson ended with 24 points (8-12 FG, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 112-71 win over McNeese State.

Impact Johnson is in the midst of a career year, but it was just his second double-double of the season as Michigan rolled on ahead of Big Ten play. His 24 points also matched his season high, and he did it on 66.7 percent shooting from the field. Johnson has been a revelation in Ann Arbor, and he's established himself as a key piece on this Wolverines squad that looks like its about to do some damage in the Big Ten.

Career year ongoing Johnson finished Tuesday's 89-61 victory over Villanova with seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes.

Impact Fellow frontcourt transfer Yaxel Lendeborg received most of the hype this offseason (and in fantasy rankings), but Johnson has only been a tick behind in production. His minutes have grown compared to last season at Illinois, and now as a full-time starter, the 6-9 center is posting career-best averages of 13.4 ppg and 6.7 rpg. He's also improved tremendously from the charity stripe, upping his free-throw percentage a full 16 points to 77.8. The duo of Johnson and Lendeborg, plus 7-3 Aday Mara, has helped lead Michigan to the best two-point field-goal percentage both made and allowed in the entire country, and the stout frontcourt a big part of the reason the Wolverines remain undefeated.

Drops 10 in starting role Johnson ended Tuesday's 85-84 OT victory over Wake Forest with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes.

Impact Johnson was in a big man-heavy starting five for Michigan against the Demon Deacons, and he contributed a solid if inefficient 10 points on eight shots. He did hold down the paint with eight rebounds, but it was a far cry from his opener against Oakland in which he shot a scorching 10-of-12 from the field. Nonetheless, the Illinois transfer is proving his worth to this squad.
