Famous NBA skills coach lauds Flau'jae Johnson for leading Kim Mulkey's LSU to an impressive start 

Flau'jae Johnson has been one of the best players in LSU's women's basketball program in recent years. Under coach Kim Mulkey, the junior guard has evolved into one of the best guards in all of women's college basketball, enjoying immense success with the Tigers.

Johnson's stellar performances for LSU in the ongoing college basketball season have caught the eye of Chris Brickley, a former NBA skills coach. Brickley recently worked with the likes of Carmelo Anthony's son, Kiyan, and LeBron James' eldest son, Bronny, who is now his father's teammate at the Los Angeles Lakers.

Earlier today, Brickley shared a clip of Johnson going through some drills in which she effortlessly made shots from 3-point range. She also worked on improving her handle before practicing shots on the move and a few contested shots, which prompted Brickley to praise her impressive start to her junior year through his caption for the post.

"@flaujae is off to a great start 20.9 ppg, 6 rpg on shooting 52% from the field and 42% from 3pt. LSU is 14-0. Keep it going!" Brickley wrote.

Despite the loss of Angel Reese, whom the Chicago Sky made the No. 7 overall pick in this year's WNBA draft, the Tigers have made a strong start to the 2024-25 season. They have won all 14 of their games, although they have only faced one ranked opponent in NC State so far.

The Tigers will be keen to extend their perfect streak when they face Albany next at Baton Rouge on Dec. 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
