Carson Johnson (@Bgu_cj) was one of the most intriguing wings that I saw at The Expo. He was one of the names I had circled to check out coming into the day, and really impressed. Nice length at 6'5", active without the ball on both ends, and can create a shot off the dribble.
17U starts the weekend with a 58-56 win in a tough game against Bricksquad Monopoly.

2027 6'5 Carson Johnson (Upward Stars Columbia)
Johnson has been consistent over the last few weeks. Versatile piece that can make plays from multiple positions. Comfortable in stepping out along the perimeter but also uses his size to attack the basket. #PhenomMDC
2027 6’5 Carson Johnson 2 (Upward Stars Columbia 17u)
6’5 guard with a smooth handle who shoots it well and gets to the rim with ease. Competes hard on the defensive end and plays the game the right way, projecting as a strong college player and great teammate. Coaches should definitely take notice. #PhenomRockHillLive
2027 6'5 Carson Johnson (Upward Stars Columbia)
- Johnson can play multiple positions and stays engaged throughout. Attacks the rim and battles around the basket, but also does a great job in being able to step out as well. Solid inside and out game. #PhenomRockHillLive
6’5 ‘27 Carson Johnson (Upward Stars Columbia) is standing out as an x-factor for this group. Showing the ability to create mismatches as a versatile piece with size, skill, and athleticism. Intrigued by his physical tools and general upside #PHLFinals
