East Lansing freshman forward Brandon Johns has been named to the 2015-16 USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team.
Johns was one of 27 players under age 16 named to the roster and will have a chance to be part of the 2015 U16 National Team and 2016 U17 World Championship squad if the U.S qualifies for the U17 Worlds.
Johns, who helped East Lansing to a 12-9 mark and third-place finish in the tough CAAC Blue this winter, is the only player from Michigan on the Junior National Team.
The 6-foot-7 Johns and other team members will train May 28-June 6 in Colorado Springs, Colo. From there, 12 players will be selected for the USA U16 National Team that will compete in the FIBA Americas U16 Championship in Argentina from June 10-14.
