Johnson played well and really showed playmaking ability in a lot of ways.   She can pull up from three, shoot in the midrange, and can consistently get into the paint for floaters and layups.   She played the forward position,  but was also one of her team's best ball handlers. Johnson is an energetic player who plays on both sides of the court.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["842532"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":842559,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='842532' first='Sharla' last='Adams'] for Paxon really made a difference down low for Paxon.
