NBL EXPERIENCE

Orlando Johnson made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 31 years of age. He scored two points in his first game.

After finishing fifth with a 15-13 record and missing the playoffs the previous season, Brisbane reshaped its roster under coach Andrej Lemanis. Cam Gliddon (to South East Melbourne), Lamar Patterson (to New Zealand), Reuben Te Rangi (to South East Melbourne), Will Magnay (to New Orleans), Mika Vukona (to Southern Districts), Taylor Braun (to Israel) and EJ Singler (to NZNBL) departed, while Anthony Drmic and Harry Froling (both via Adelaide), Tanner Krebs (via St Mary’s), Tamuri Wigness (via Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence) and imports Orlando Johnson (via Russia) and Vic Law (via Lakeland) were added.

Johnson was signed as Brisbane’s first import in November after spending the previous season with Avtodor Saratov in Russia and was viewed as the replacement for Patterson. Brisbane expected Johnson to take on a major offensive role alongside Sobey, with the former NBA guard entering the season expecting to be one of the team’s primary scoring options.

“I told them I was looking to be a focal point and a guy who can lead a team,” Johnson said.

Brisbane opened the season against Illawarra at Nissan Arena on January 16, where Johnson (2 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist) started but suffered an elbow injury midway through the second quarter and did not return. Sobey (19 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal) and Law (17 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 block) led Brisbane, while Sam Froling (19 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block) led Illawarra to a 90-84 win.

Johnson (6.9 points and 4.1 rebounds across 15 games) did not miss a game because of the elbow injury, returning five days later against Illawarra despite still favouring his right arm. Johnson (11 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals) came off the bench as Sobey (24 points and 2 steals) and Law (16 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists) led Brisbane, while Tyler Harvey (31 points and 2 steals) carried Illawarra to another 90-82 win.

Johnson’s best game came against Adelaide at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on February 15, where he finished with 15 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal as Brisbane reversed its loss to the 36ers two nights earlier. Law (27 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 block) and Sobey (19 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists) led the Bullets, while Daniel Johnson (20 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists) was Adelaide’s best as Brisbane won 93-74.

</p> <p>Johnson produced another of his strongest performances against defending champion Perth on March 5, finishing with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block as Sobey (31 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal) and Law (23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal) led Brisbane, while <a href="https://aussiehoopla.com/bryce-cotton/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="350" title="Bryce Cotton">Bryce Cotton</a> (29 points and 4 assists) led Perth as the Bullets won 95-92.</p> <p>Six days later Johnson (13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal) played an important role as Brisbane recovered from a double-figure deficit against Adelaide during the NBL Cup. Sobey (30 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists) and Law (22 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists) led the Bullets, while <a href="https://aussiehoopla.com/daniel-johnson/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="873" title="Daniel Johnson">Daniel Johnson</a> (29 points and 9 rebounds) led Adelaide as Brisbane won 109-104 and moved to the top of the NBL Cup standings.</p> <p>Johnson played his final game for Brisbane against Sydney on March 13, finishing with 7 points and 5 rebounds in 13 minutes. Sobey (35 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block) and Law (23 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block) led Brisbane, while <a href="https://aussiehoopla.com/casper-ware/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1725" title="Casper Ware">Casper Ware</a> (25 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 steal) led Sydney to a 119-108 win, leaving the Bullets with an 8-7 record through Johnson’s 15 games.</p> <p>Brisbane released Johnson in mid-March after New Zealand had agreed to release Patterson, allowing the Bullets to bring their former import back. Lemanis explained the move was made because Brisbane wanted a player who better complemented the skill sets already on the roster.</p> <p><i>“This is a decision that was not made lightly and is made especially difficult given the quality person Orlando is,” Lemanis said.</i> Johnson had started 13 of his 15 appearances and did not miss a game through injury before his release.</p> <p>Patterson (13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals across 23 games) returned (via New Zealand) while still recovering from an MCL injury and was unavailable for Brisbane’s first games following the change. Law (18.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks across 16 games) then suffered an ankle injury which was later revealed to be a torn tendon requiring surgery and ended his season, while <a href="https://aussiehoopla.com/bj-johnson/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1904" title="BJ Johnson">BJ Johnson</a> (10 points and 3.7 rebounds across 11 games) was added (via Long Island) late in the season.</p> <p>Sobey (21.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists across 36 games) produced the best season of his career, while Drmic (10.1 points and 3.1 rebounds across 34 games), Hodgson (10.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks across 32 games), Cadee (9.5 points and 4 assists across 36 games), Froling (8 points and 4.9 rebounds across 36 games) and Harrison (5.2 points and 5.9 rebounds across 36 games) formed the remainder of Brisbane’s main rotation. The Bullets finished third in offensive rebounding and second in defensive rebounds but conceded a league-high 90.9 points per game while scoring 89 points per game.</p> <p>Brisbane finished sixth with an 18-18 record and missed the playoffs.</p> <p><p><P>Orlando Johnson played one season in the NBL. He averaged 6.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 15 NBL games.</p> <p> </div> <div class="players-info-table"> <h3 style='margin-top: 0px !important;'>NBL TOTAL STATISTICS</h3> <div class="playtable ah-nbl-stat-table"> <table class="fix_column"> <th style=width:77px;>SEASON</th><th style=width:77px;>AGE</th><th style=width:150px;>TEAM</th><th style=width:77px;>TEAM RECORD</th><th style=width:77px;>GP</th><th style=width:77px;>MINS</th><th style=width:77px;>PTS</th><th style=width:77px;>REB</th><th style=width:77px;>AST</th><th style=width:77px;>OR</th><th style=width:77px;>DR</th><th style=width:77px;>STL</th><th style=width:77px;>BLK</th><th style=width:77px;>TO</th><th style=width:77px;>PF</th><th style=width:77px;>FGM</th><th style=width:77px;>FGA</th><th style=width:77px;>FG%</th><th style=width:77px;>3PM</th><th style=width:77px;>3PA</th><th style=width:77px;>3P%</th><th style=width:77px;>FTM</th><th style=width:77px;>FTA</th><th style=width:77px;>FT%</th><th style=width:77px;>TS%</th><th style=width:77px;>EFG%</th><th style=width:77px;>HS</th><tr><th>2020-21</th><th>32</th><th>Brisbane</th><td>18-18 (6)</td><td>15</td><td>327</td><td>103</td><td>62</td><td>27</td><td>14</td><td>48</td><td>8</td><td>5</td><td>11</td><td>26</td><td>35</td><td>94</td><td>37%</td><td>10</td><td>40</td><td>25%</td><td>23</td><td>30</td><td>77%</td><td>48%</td><td>43%</td><td>15</td></tr> <th>Totals</th><th></th><th></th><th></th><th>15</th><th>327</th><th>103</th><th>62</th><th>27</th><th>14</th><th>48</th><th>8</th><th>5</th><th>11</th><th>26</th><th>35</th><th>94</th><th>37.2%</th><th>10</th><th>40</th><th>25.0%</th><th>23</th><th>30</th><th>76.7%</th><th>48%</th><th>43%</th><th>15</th> </table> </div> <h3>NBL PER GAME STATISTICS</h3> <div class="playtable ah-nbl-stat-table"> <table class="fix_column"> <th style=width:77px;>SEASON</th><th style=width:77px;>AGE</th><th style=width:150px;>TEAM</th><th style=width:77px;>TEAM RECORD</th><th style=width:77px;>GP</th><th style=width:77px;>MINS</th><th style=width:77px;>PTS</th><th style=width:77px;>REB</th><th style=width:77px;>AST</th><th style=width:77px;>OR</th><th style=width:77px;>DR</th><th style=width:77px;>STL</th><th style=width:77px;>BLK</th><th style=width:77px;>TO</th><th style=width:77px;>PF</th><th style=width:77px;>FGM</th><th style=width:77px;>FGA</th><th style=width:77px;>FG%</th><th style=width:77px;>3PM</th><th style=width:77px;>3PA</th><th style=width:77px;>3P%</th><th style=width:77px;>FTM</th><th style=width:77px;>FTA</th><th style=width:77px;>FT%</th><th style=width:77px;>TS%</th><th style=width:77px;>EFG%</th><th style=width:77px;>HS</th><tr><th>2020-21</th><th>32</th><th>Brisbane</th><td>18-18 (6)</td><td>15</td><td>21.8</td><td>6.9</td><td>4.1</td><td>1.8</td><td>0.9</td><td>3.2</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.7</td><td>1.7</td><td>2.3</td><td>6.3</td><td>37%</td><td>0.7</td><td>2.7</td><td>25%</td><td>1.5</td><td>2.0</td><td>77%</td><td>48%</td><td>43%</td><td>15</td></tr> <th>Total</th><th></th><th></th><th></th><th>15</th><th>21.8</th><th>6.9</th><th>4.1</th><th>1.8</th><th>0.9</th><th>3.2</th><th>0.5</th><th>0.3</th><th>0.7</th><th>1.7</th><th>2.3</th><th>6.3</th><th>37.2%</th><th>0.7</th><th>2.7</th><th>25.0%</th><th>1.5</th><th>2.0</th><th>76.7%</th><th>48%</th><th>43%</th><th>15</th> </table> </div> <h3>CAREER HIGHS</h3> <div class="playtable"> <table class="career"> <tr> <th>POINTS</th> <th>REBOUNDS</th> <th>ASSISTS</th> <th>STEALS</th> <th>BLOCKS</th> <th>TURNOVERS</th> <th>TRIPLE DOUBLES</th> </tr> <td>15</td><td>9</td><td>5</td><td>2</td><td>1</td><td>3</td><td>0</td> </table> <h3></h3> </div> <h3>NBA EXPERIENCE</h3> <div class='full-player-text'><P>Orlando Johnson was drafted by the Sacramento Kings with pick #36 in the 2012 NBA Draft.<p>Orlando Johnson was selected 36th overall in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings, who traded his draft rights to the Indiana Pacers. He made his NBA debut with Indiana on 5 November 2012 and went on to play 103 NBA regular-season games across the Pacers, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 3.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists. His NBA playing career also included postseason appearances with Indiana.<p>Johnson spent time on assignment with Indianas NBA Development League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. In 2012/13 he started four D-League games and averaged 23.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists. He returned for three Fort Wayne games in 2013/14, again starting every appearance and averaging 13.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists.<p>After leaving Indiana, he joined the Austin Spurs in December 2014. Historical D-League records list 43 regular-season appearances for Austin in 2014/15, averaging 17.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists. In six separate 2015 D-League playoff games he averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists, shooting 44.4% from three-point range.<p>During 2015/16 he returned to Austin, earning selection for the 2016 D-League All-Star Game and two NBA call-ups: Phoenix signed him in February 2016 and New Orleans signed him to a ten-day contract on 9 March. An original Pelicans announcement credited Johnson with 30 Austin games (26 starts) and averages of 15.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists as of that date. A separate historical regular-season archive instead lists 29 games averaging 16.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists; the discrepancy remains unresolved. He also played one D-League playoff game for Austin in 2016, scoring two points. The seven documented Austin playoff appearances (six in 2015, one in 2016) are separate from regular-season totals.<p>Johnson returned to Austin for 13 regular-season D-League appearances in 2016/17, averaging 17.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The historical season-by-season records identify five developmental-league seasons, but a single definitive career game count has not been asserted while the 2015/16 records disagree. He later continued his professional career overseas and played in Australias NBL with the Brisbane Bullets.<p><p>Johnson played 103 games in the NBA. He averaged 3.2 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game over his NBA career.<p><b>NBA TRANSACTIONS:</B><p>- June 28, 2012: Drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the 2nd round (36th pick) of the

transferring to UC Santa Barbara, where he redshirted the 2008–09 season and then starred for the Gauchos from 2009–10 to 2011–12, completing his UCSB career as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 1,825 points scored in three seasons.<p> As a freshman at Loyola Marymount in 2007–08, Johnson started 30 of 31 games and led the Lions in both scoring and rebounding at 12.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game while playing 26.0 minutes per night, setting LMU freshman records with 383 points and 12.4 points per game and tying the school’s freshman rebounding record with 152 rebounds.<p> Johnson scored in double figures 20 times for LMU, produced three double-doubles, posted a season-high 26 points against Wagner, grabbed a season-high 11 rebounds three times, hit a season-high four three-pointers against UC Riverside, and earned West Coast Conference Player of the Week honours during the season.<p> After sitting out 2008–09 following his transfer, Johnson made an immediate impact at UC Santa Barbara in 2009–10 by averaging 18.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, earning Big West Player of the Year, First Team All-Big West, Big West Tournament MVP, NABC First Team All-District recognition, Lou Henson Mid-Major All-American honours, and Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American status while scoring 540 points, the sixth-most in a single season in UCSB history at the time.<p> During the 2009–10 season, he delivered 20 points and five rebounds in UCSB’s NCAA tournament game against Ohio State, scored a career-high 28 points in a win at Pacific, hit a buzzer-beating three at UC Riverside to secure a win, and also knocked down a three at the buzzer to force overtime against Cal State Fullerton before UCSB won the game, while helping the Gauchos claim the Big West Tournament title and an NCAA tournament berth.<p> Johnson raised his production again as a junior in 2010–11, setting a UCSB single-season scoring record with 674 points while averaging 21.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game, earning First Team All-Big West honours, NABC First Team All-District recognition, Lou Henson Mid-Major All-American honours, and
