Johnson, 25, was the eight overall pick in the 2015 draft.

Through six years in the NBA, Johnson averaged 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game on 38% shooting from the field.

Johnson is regarded as a defensive specialist with above-average athleticism.

The Bulls have a need for a defensive wing to play behind Zach LaVine, Demar DeRozan, and Patrick Williams.

Johnson will likely compete for minutes with Troy Brown Jr., Derrick Jones Jr., and rookie Ayo Dosonmu.
