Fever Rookie Raven Johnson Reacts to Stephanie White's Comments

White had nothing but good things to say about Johnson, particularly with what she brings to the table on the defensive end.

“Well, I mean, certainly what we knew is that she's a bear on the defensive end of the floor,” White said of Johnson. “You know, she's got great active hands. You know, she doesn't seem to get in mismatched situations because of her activity level on the defensive end.

“Her arms are like forever long. And she's, you know, just working her way into figuring out the playbook. She's a high-level communicator, so she does a really good job of communicating, especially with us on the sideline asking questions.

“She wants to know what she needs to do to continue to get better, and I think that that's a great start.”

Johnson caught wind of her coach’s comments. The 5-foot-8 guard shared the video on her Instagram stories, along with a subtle reaction.

“❤️” Johnson captioned her post.

Johnson clearly appreciates the confidence White has in her. The rookie will now have to prove why White is so high on her and why the Fever used their first-round pick on her.

Johnson won two national championships with the Gamecocks in college. As a senior, the AP All-American guard averaged 9.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 triples per game.
