Charlee Johnsen is a dynamic young point guard who combines shooting prowess with leadership qualities well beyond her years. A 2030 prospect, she’s already proven she can thrive against high-level competition, transitioning this season to Wisconsin Prime Nation 15U EYBL after a standout campaign with Wisconsin Impact 14U Jr. EYBL.

Averaging 12.1 points per game and knocking down an incredible 117 threes across 45 games, Charlee has established herself as one of the premier perimeter shooters in her age group. Her ability to consistently stretch the floor changes the geometry of the game, forcing defenses to extend and opening driving lanes for her teammates. But her impact doesn’t stop with scoring—she brings poise, vision, and competitiveness that make her a true lead guard.

Mid Range Reads & Pull Ups

Charlee’s ability to control pace translates well into the mid-range. She is comfortable getting to her spots with one or two dribbles and elevating into balanced jumpers. Her mechanics are smooth and repeatable, giving her a reliable pull-up game that complements her three-point shooting. This part of her arsenal allows her to stay unpredictable and prevents defenders from overcommitting to running her off the line.

One of her standout traits is her patience in the mid-range. She doesn’t rush into tough shots—she uses hesitation moves, jab steps, and tempo changes to create the exact pocket of space she wants before elevating. Her footwork is polished, giving her the ability to attack with a stride-stop or a controlled step-back, both of which translate into efficient scoring opportunities.

She also shows a growing ability to attack from the wing into short pull-ups, leveraging her shooting threat to get defenders leaning, then calmly pulling up inside the arc. This balance between perimeter shooting and mid-range control prevents defenders from overplaying her on the outside.

3 Point Shooting

Shooting is Charlee’s trademark skill. Hitting 117 threes over 45 games demonstrates not only her efficiency but also her volume and consistency as a deep threat. She has excellent footwork in catch-and-shoot situations, a quick release, and the confidence to hit shots from well beyond the arc.

Her ability to shoot off the dribble makes her even more dangerous. Whether in transition, out of ball screens, or in late-clock situations, she has the poise to rise and knock down shots under pressure. This skill alone elevates her value, as she forces opponents to guard her tightly at all times.

What She Brings to Her Team

Charlee is more than a shooter—she is a true floor general. Her vision, unselfishness, and vocal leadership help organize her team on both ends of the floor. On offense, she balances scoring with facilitating, making the right reads and creating opportunities for others. On defense, her energy and quick hands allow her to disrupt ball handlers and generate turnovers.

Charlee brings spacing, decision-making, and competitive fire. Her presence on the floor raises the confidence of those around her, and her ability to take over stretches with her shooting provides a game-changing dimension for her team.

A Rising Prospect in the 2030 Class

Charlee Johnsen is emerging as one of the most promising young guards in the country. Her shooting ability already places her among the elite in her age group, and her continued growth as a finisher and playmaker rounds out her game. With her work ethic, confidence, and versatility, she projects as a long-term impact player who will be on the radar of top programs in the years ahead.
