There’s a lot you can take away from the Pittsburgh Panthers (10-3) non-conference schedule. Perhaps the biggest one is the emergence of freshman point guard Xavier Johnson. His talent is undeniable, and it has many people predicting that he’ll one day play in the NBA.
That type of notion is one of the many reasons why Johnson is likely at the top of teams scouting reports. Don’t believe me, here’s why.
In my opinion, the game against the West Virginia Mountaineers provided the best look at how defenses may try to play Johnson going forward.
