AJ Johnson - Jalen Green's little brother
Posted Thu, Apr 21 12:07 pm
2023. 6-6 combo guard, late bloomer who who's grown 5 inches in the past year. 247 indicates that he's on UCLA's recruiting radar. Does anyone know how serious is UCLA's interest?

He looks and plays just like his big brother, although not as physically mature at the same age. He is blossoming as he's gone through a massive growth spurt.

I Don’t Believe He’s Actually Related To Green

AJ Johnson developed a relationship with Jalen Green several years ago. A relationship that became close, and over time AJ was often referred to as Jaylen’s little brother. So often in fact, we can’t blame vadin for assuming it was true.

However, I believe Jaylen Green only has sisters and AJ is not biologically related to him.

AJ Johnson is not his brother; as stated, he is referred to as his little brother because he looks a little like Jalen and people thought he would be as good as Jalen. My son played on the same team as Jalen as a freshman in high school, and everyone could tell Jalen was headed for the NBA, even as a freshman in high school - he was that good. I also got to see AJ play as a freshman, at the same high school where Jalen played for 3 years, and AJ is talented, but not even close to being at the same caliber as Jalen when Jalen was a junior in high school. He will definitely be a D1 player - will be interesting to see what teams recruit him.
