While it has been a frustrating summer for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, there have been some bright spots.
Perhaps none are as exciting as the play of 2027 commit Dooney Johnson, who has been on an absolute tear since the high school season ended.
Johnson, a 4-star guard who committed to Gonzaga back in October, just capped off a tremendous performance at Peach Jam in South Carolina, leading Team Herro to the semifinals, where they lost, 84-76, to the Florida Rebels on Saturday.
The 6'7 guard attacked the rim mercilessly in the semifinal loss, dropping 16 points with four rebounds and three assists while shooting 6-11 on twos and 1-2 from the stripe. He struggled to a 1-for-8 shooting from beyond the arc, but his playmaking and scoring made him one of the biggest standouts of the weekend - and resulted in EYBL First Team honors for the Milwaukee, WI native.
