Early life
Johnny Dee was born on November 4, 1992, in Denver, Colorado, US.[1] Dee's grandfather, Don Dee, played for the Indiana Pacers and was on the U.S. 1968 Olympic gold-medal-winning basketball team. His father, Donnie Dee, played for the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL for two seasons, while his mother, Jackie, was on the cross country team at the University of Tulsa. He has a younger sister Jenny who played basketball at UC Irvine. Johnny Dee was a part of the Rancho Buena Vista Little League All-Star team that advanced to the 2005 Little League World Series, playing shortstop. He attended Rancho Buena Vista High School and led the San Diego Section in scoring as a senior with 32.8 points per game. Portland State was the only Division I school to offer him a scholarship, but Dee decided to walk on at San Diego.[2]
College career
When Dee arrived at San Diego, the team was coming off a 6–24 season and point-shaving scandal. Dee received a scholarship the summer before his freshman year after a player announced he was leaving the program. He considered redshirting, but coach Bill Grier talked him out of the idea and he averaged 13.7 points per game. Dee increased his scoring to 15.0 points per game as a sophomore.[2] He twisted his left ankle playing against Loyola Marymount but still managed to score 19 points in a win over BYU three nights later. As a junior, Dee played most of the season with a knee injury.[3] During this time, he led NCAA Division I in free throw shooting percentage at 94.5% while averaging 16.6 points per game.[2] In order to calm his nerves at the line, Dee silently recited the Bible verse Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."[4] As a senior, Dee averaged 14.0 points per game and shot 37.9 percent from behind the arc. Dee is San Diego's all-time leading scorer, finishing with 2,046 points, the all-time leader in three-pointers with 333, and was tied for second in games played with 131.[5] He was a two-time All-West Coast Conference First Team selection.[6]
Professional career
After going undrafted, Dee signed with the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Summer League.[6] Dee began his professional career with Široki and averaged over 19 points per game. On November 9, 2015, he signed with Polish club Starogard Gdański.[7] He averaged 11 points per game in Poland. In the 2017–2018 season, Dee joined Araberri of the Spanish LEB Oro. He posted 15.9 points, and 2.5 assists per game in 24 games. On August 6, 2018, he signed a two-year deal with Sevilla in the same league.[8]
According to his player profile, he is 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) and weighs 185 lb (84 kg).[1]
