DJohnson entering sophomore season at UW

Percy Allen offers a video look at Washington sophomore Darin Johnson.

Here's Lorenzo Romar on Johnson:
(Is the potential there for Darin Johnson to make a big jump this year?) “Darin has immense potential. We have several guys on the team – you look at a guy like Mike Anderson and wonder how much upside he has. Well, in this system, based on what he did last year where he kind of had to play out of position. And it wasn’t a situation – like I said, it’s four guards, but he didn’t have as much confidence shooting the basketball last year, so that made him play more like an inside guy. That’s different than when we play with four guards this year. When we do that, all those guys can shoot, have confidence to make the shot. Darin’s talent – we saw what he did in the last game. Darin learned a lot last year. He’s come in this year with not only a better focus, but a better understanding. You need to have some sort of understanding to be able to – I don’t know which one comes first, the focus or the understanding. Well, last year, maybe he didn’t have as much understanding, lost his focus at times. This year, both areas have improved, which is, in my opinion, going to make him a much improved player.”
