According to Michigan basketball's Mike Smith, Brandon Johns is “a talent that not a lot of people know about.”
That will change if Johns continues playing as well as he did Saturday.
In his second start of the season, the junior forward tallied 11 points, two rebounds and one assist, block and steal in U-M's 82-66 win over Texas Southern in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Johns didn't lead the Wolverines in any stats. But he doesn't need to. This version of Johns is helpful enough as Michigan tries to make a postseason run without an injured Isaiah Livers.
