He hasn't been asked to provide much offense on a star-studded UCLA squad that features a trio of reliable scorers in Johnny Juzang, Jaime Jaquez and Jules Bernard. Johnson will continue to serve as the team's starting center for at least the next two weeks as Cody Riley works his way back from a knee injury.
