Morez Johnson Jr., a 6-foot-9, 251-pound power forward/center from Michigan, showcased his skills as a high-effort defender and efficient scorer, averaging 13.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in his sophomore season. While he excelled defensively and rebounding, his shooting remains a concern, with a 34.3% three-point percentage.
