Meet Morez Johnson Jr.: The Big Ten's Elite Finisher

Ahead of Michigan's matchup with Illinois, Morez Johnson Jr. is emerging as the Big Ten's most effective finisher.

Morez Johnson Jr. has established himself as a 6-foot-9 matchup nightmare and the most effective finisher in the Big Ten. The Michigan forward leads the conference in field goal percentage at 65% and is averaging 13.3 points and 7.3 rebounds this season.

Johnson transferred to Michigan from Illinois before his sophomore year after breaking his left wrist during his freshman campaign. He wears the number 21, a nod to his parents' birthdates, and is set to face his former team on Friday night.
