It’s been quite the journey for Alize Johnson, who continues to shine for the Nets.
Johnson has played his four collegiate years at Frank Phillips and Missouri State before becoming a journeyman in the NBA, splitting his three-year career between the Indiana Pacers and their G League affiliate — the Fort Wayne Mad Ants — and the Toronto Raptors G League affiliate — the Raptors 905 — before joining the Nets. The journey, as it does with every player, speaks for itself but Johnson wants and has always wanted more. Now, with the Nets, he’s getting that chance through skills of course but also through sheer will.
