2024 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 23 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Johnson averaged 7.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.1 blocks per game, shooting 38.5 percent from the field across 22.0 minutes in 29 games during his rookie 2024-25 season. Seven of those games were with the Bucks, but he was used sparingly before his trade to Washington. In his final 10 games, his production increased to 10.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game, demonstrating growth and a stronger rhythm as the season drew to a close. Acquired in a February four-team trade that also brought in Khris Middleton, Johnson now joins a young rebuild loaded with opportunity. This offseason, Washington added CJ McCollum to stabilize the locker room and mentor the youth, and traded for Cam Whitmore to bolster the offensive potential alongside rookie Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington as part of a promising under-23 nucleus. With those moves, things are a bit crowded in the backcourt, but if he continues building at his end-of-season pace, Johnson could emerge as a versatile scoring and playmaking option off the bench. While his fantasy appeal will be limited to begin the season, Johnson is someone who could see his value rise as the season progresses once the Wizards start to dial back their veterans.

$Signed a two-year, $6.04 million contract with the Bucks in July of 2024. Traded to the Wizards in February of 2025. Contract includes $3.24 million team option for 2026-27. The Wizards exercised the 2026-27 team option in October of 2025.
Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Johnson was born in California and played his senior year of high school basketball at Southern California Academy. Coming out of high school, Johnson was a four-star recruit and initially committed to play college basketball for the University of Texas before de-comitting and opting to play for the Next Stars program in the NBL. He spent the 2023-24 campaign with the Ilawarra Hawks, averaging 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.7 minutes across 26 appearances. Johnson has a close relationship with the No. 2 pick in 2021 NBA Draft, Jalen Green. At 6-foot-5, Johnson has the ideal size and athleticism for a guard at the next level. He flashed the ability to create his shot and has the vision to find open teammates. Defensively, Johnson's length gives him the tools to bother opponents on the perimeter. Johnson's skillset is similar to Jalen Hood-Schifino's due to both having the size and athleticism to operate as combo guards at the next level. Like Hood-Schifino, Johnson will likely need time to develop in the NBA G League before making a true impact in the NBA, as he saw limited playing time in his first taste of professional basketball in the NBL.

Recalled to NBA
GCapital City Go-Go   G League (Wizards)
December 6, 2025
The Wizards recalled Johnson from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will rejoin Washington following a pair of appearances in the G League, where he totaled 39 points, seven rebounds and six assists. The young guard has failed to find regular playing time at the NBA level, serving as a depth option in most games this season.
