G Orlando Johnson, UC Santa Barbara
Particulars: 6-5/205, Jr.; Salinas (Calif.) Palma
Conference: Big West
The buzz: Johnson was the Big West player of the year last season, his first with the Gauchos after transferring from Loyola Marymount. Johnson has 3-point range -- he hit 39.7 percent of his shots from beyond the arc -- but he gets most of his points with his mid-range game and in the lane. He uses his size well against smaller defenders and also is an effective defender and rebounder.
