Garrison Johnson (born July 27, 1988) is an American professional basketball player. He most recently competed for Valur in Iceland in the 2011–12 season.[1] Johnson is better known for his collegiate career at Jackson State University between 2006 and 2010. During his time at Jackson State, Johnson scored 1,251 points[2] and participated in two postseason tournaments: the 2007 NCAA Tournament as a freshman and the 2010 National Invitation Tournament as a senior. Throughout his four-year tenure he steadily increased his scoring averages – 2.7, 7.4, 10.7, and 17.6 points per game.[3] In 2009–10, his senior season, Johnson led the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in points per game (18.1), total points (578), free throws (161) and free throw attempts (220).[2] He was named the SWAC Player of the Year, becoming the fifth Jackson State player to earn that honor.[4]
After graduating, Johnson was selected in the 2010 NBA Development League Draft by the Springfield Armor in the seventh round.[5] Johnson never played in the D-League, so he began his professional career overseas. In 2011 he played for Barreirense in Portugal.[1] He then played for Valur in Iceland in 2011–12, the last team he has suited up for.[1]
