Orlando Johnson
Orlando Vincent Johnson (born March 11, 1989) is an American basketball coach, administrator, and former professional player. He played college basketball for Loyola Marymount and UC Santa Barbara.
Johnson, a 6'5 shooting guard from Palma High School in Salinas, California, first played collegiately at Loyola Marymount. As a freshman in the 2007–08 season, Johnson averaged 12.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, leading the Lions in both categories. Following a coaching change at LMU, Johnson transferred to UCSB.
After sitting out the 2008–09 season per NCAA transfer rules, Johnson made an instant impact in the Big West Conference for the Gauchos, averaging 18 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Johnson also led the Gauchos to the 2010 Big West Conference men's basketball tournament title and an NCAA appearance. Following the season, he was named the Big West conference player of the year and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press.
As a junior in 2010–11, Johnson averaged 21.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game and was again named first team All-Big West. He also led the Gauchos to another conference tournament title and NCAA tournament appearance, again earning Big West tournament MVP honors.
Following his junior season, Johnson declared himself eligible for the 2011 NBA draft, but opted to return to UCSB for his senior season.
Following his junior season at UCSB, Johnson was chosen to represent the United States as a member of Team USA at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzhen, China. He played in all eight matches of the tournament, averaging 7.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game as the team finished 7–1.
Prior to the start of his senior season, Johnson was named to the preseason watch lists for the Wooden Award, Naismith Award, and the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
Johnson was selected with the 36th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings. He was immediately traded to the Indiana Pacers. On July 12, 2012, he signed a multi-year deal with the Pacers. On March 23, 2013, he scored a season-high 15 points in a win over the Atlanta Hawks. During his rookie season, he had multiple assignments with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA Development League.
