Dominique Johnson

Fuerza Regia Monterrey (LNBP) inked experienced 35-year old American 192cm shooting guard Dominique Johnson (college: Azusa Pacific). It is actually his comeback to Fuerza Regia as he has played here before. Johnson played this summer at Killers 3s (Big3) in the U.S. He managed to play in three leagues in two countries last year (!!!). First he played at Dolomiti Energia Trentino in Italian Serie A where in 10 games he averaged 5.5ppg and 1.5rpg. Johnson also played 3 games in Eurocup where he had 10.7ppg, 1.3rpg and 1.0apg.
In 2010 he was drafted by Idaho Stampede (D-League) in third round (16th overall).
He graduated from Azusa Pacific University and it will be his 14th (hopefully lucky) season in pro basketball.
Johnson has tried to make it to the NBA and played in the NBA Pro Summer League in 2012.
He is a very experienced player. Johnson has quite traveled the world as his pro career brought him to ten different countries on four different continents (Europe, Asia, Latin America and of course North America). He has played previously professionally in China (Lhasa), France (Entente Orleans 45), Germany (ALBA Berlin), Israel (Maccabi Rishon), Lebanon (Al Riyadi), Poland (WKS Slask and Siarka), Turkey (Bandirma), NBA G League (Sioux Falls Skyforce, Texas Legends and Canton Charge), Italy (Varese, Pistoia, Venezia and Udine) and The Basketball Tournament (Bluff City).
Among many awards he was voted to Asia-Basket.com All-Lebanese League Honorable Mention back in 2019.
Johnson's game is described as: Dominique is an athletic 6'5" combo guard with a strong body and great ability to score and defend. Johnson is an outstanding teammate and personality, a smart player who is better suited in Europe as a scorer and a top defender. Dominique is shockingly successful having come from a NAIA school. Even so, Dominique could easily become one of the top players in Europe even at the Euroleague level.
