USC Basketball: Pac-12 All-Defensive Teamer Signs With Top NBA Agency

Junior USC Trojans men's basketball small forward Kobe Johnson is now represented by the hottest name in basketball.

Klutch Sports has announced via its official Instagram handle that it has inked the 6'5" swingman.

A 2023 Pac-12 All-Defensive Teamer, Johnson's 72 steals paced USC last season, ranked second in the Pac-12 and was tied for 17th across the country. That number also tied him for third all-time in the history of the Trojans men's game. His 85 total dimes last year ranked third on the club.

Thus far this season, though the team's 5-4 overall record has disappointed, Johnson's individual play has not. Through seven available games, the Milwaukee native is averaging career highs in points (12.3 on .435/.313/.727 shooting splits), assists (3.0), steals (2.9), and blocks (1.0), while tying his career mark in rebounds at 5.0.
