Sometimes it’s hard to tell what JW Johnson is thinking. He has the poker face of a Vegas card player picking up that ace on the river while looking like he’s standing in line at the DMV. Happy or sad? It’s a toss-up most of the time. His sister Jorja? Not so much....

The way Zane Navratil describes it is simple. No, not his game. That’s not what he’s talking about. There’s nothing simple about that. On the court, Navratil displays a wild combination of energy, manic footwork, and fast-twitch muscle movement like his body is...
