Excellent in starting role Johnson recorded 24 points (10-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 121-78 win over Oakland.
Impact Johnson wasn't expected to start in this season opener, but he moved to the first unit after Yaxel Lendeborg was removed late from the first unit due to a hand injury. Lendeborg still played, but Johnson made the most of his start and led the Wolverines in scoring. It's unclear if he'll remain in the first unit if Lendeborg is deemed available to face Wake Forest next Tuesday, Nov. 11, but there's no doubt that Johnson made his presence felt in this campaign opener.

Actually starting in opener Johnson will get the start in Monday's season opener against Oakland with Yaxel Lendeborg (hand) out, Anthony Broome of On3.com reports.
Impact Johnson was originally out of the starting lineup for the Wolverines, but he'll actually get the start with teammate Lendeborg being a late scratch with a shooting hand injury. Johnson came in from Illinois this offseason, where he averaged 7.0 points and 6.7 rebounds on 17.7 minutes per game in his freshman campaign. He should have a sizable role with Michigan this entire year, whether in or out of the starting rotation.
