The younger brother of Hawks star Jalen Johnson, Kobe spent last season with the team’s G League affiliate after going undrafted. He’s an unrestricted free agent and the Hawks have one two-way contract available, so Monday’s performance came at the right time for Kobe. With no Kingston Flemings or Zuby Ejiofor, there was more room for Johnson and others to step up offensively, and he took advantage. There’s no need to consider Johnson for fantasy drafts, but a few more good performances may be enough to land either a two-way or Exhibit 10 contract.
