Honor for Orlando Johnson


Orlando Johnson's decision to take his name out of the NBA draft back in June has paid dividends.
Not only has the 6-foot-6 Palma graduate enhanced his stock after making the World University Games, but he carried the United States flag in the opening ceremonies.
"It's unbelievable," Johnson said. "I was proud to make the USA Basketball team and play for my country, and now to carry the flag and lead the U.S. delegation feels very special. I feel very honored."
 Johnson, who will be a senior this year at UC Santa Barbara, was 13th in the nation in scoring last year at 21.1 points, taking the Gauchos to their second straight NCAA Tournament.
