Nick Johnson posts impressive vertical jump at NBA Draft Combine

May 16, 2014, 3:53 PM | Updated: 4:46 pm

All you needed to do to know Nick Johnson had serious hops was watch an Arizona basketball game over the last three years.

Pretty much from the moment he first put on his red, white and blue uniform, the guard was a regular in the highlight reels with fantastic dunks and great feats of athleticism.

If Johnson gets drafted by an NBA team next month, there’s no doubt his ability to sky will be a big reason why.

Friday, at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, the 6-foot-3 Johnson recorded one of the best vertical jump times at the combine, coming in at an unofficial height of 41.5 inches.
