Darin Johnson

Darin Eugene Johnson (born January 21, 1995) is an American basketball player who last played for the Maree Basketball Club, a professional basketball team in Ireland.

High school and college career
Johnson played at Franklin High School in Elk Grove, California, and Sheldon High School in Sacramento, California, where he was a four star prospect before enrolling at the University of Washington in 2013. He averaged 5.9 points and 1.6 rebounds as a freshman and 4.4 points as well as 1.6 boards per contest his sophomore year. After two years with the Huskies, Johnson transferred to Cal State Northridge. Coach Reggie Theus said, "Darin has a very quick step, is strong, gets to the rim quickly, is a good mid-range shooter and his style of play will fit in perfectly at CSUN." He had sat out the 2015–16 season and made his debut for the Matadors in 2016–17, appearing in 30 contests as a junior, producing 13.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists a game.

Johnson opted to forgo his remaining college eligibility and turned pro at the conclusion of the 2016–17 campaign, entering the 2017 NBA draft. He was invited to attend a pre-draft workout with the Sacramento Kings. He was one of two players to withdraw from the draft and not return to college.
