Player Profile

A prospect for the 2027 WNBA Draft, Tessa Johnson is a smooth, three-level scorer who plays with a veteran’s pace. She never looks rushed, using her size to shoot over smaller guards and her elite footwork to attack closeouts for mid-range pull-ups. While she is a lethal spot-up shooter and hits threes at a high clip, Johnson’s value lies in her scoring efficiency without needing to dominate the ball.
