UNC Basketball Player Preview: Puff Johnson

Posted Oct 19, 2021
I expect a lot from Puff Johnson. He is someone we didn't get to see much last season, so people are forgetting about him, but he is a talented player. Another thing people don't realize is that if you put him besides Leaky Black -- he is just as tall as Leaky and a little bit longer, in terms of arm length. So he is someone who can play some great defense. (Inside Carolina)
