RP Patriots team manager Erick Arejola said Little is arriving today while Johnson will have to delay his arrival to be with his ailing father.
While Johnson is known to be a prolific scorer during his stint with the Realtors in the PBA, Little is expected to provide muscle in the shaded lane with his NBA prototype build.
The 6-foot-6 Johnson averaged 29.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game during his last stint with the Realtors.
Unlike his name, Little is tall at 6-foot-11.
Despite his size, Little is very athletic and a good shot-blocker, characteristics which the Patriots will utilize.

“We have seen how good Johnson is, but we hope Little will live up to his resume,"said Romero. “We need a tall and agile center. Hopefully, Little will be up to the task ahead."
The two will take the slots vacated by two-time PBA Best Import winner Gabe Freeman and Jason Dixon – also a PBA veteran. Freeman is now playing in Australia while the 6-foot-10 Dixon has a previous commitment.
The Patriots, is hoping to formalize its line up by next week.
Team owners Mikee Romero and Tony Boy Cojuangco have vowed to form a highly-competitive team as they hope to extend the country’s reign in the first-ever regional basketball league. - RCJ, GMANews.TV
