Thread: Will James Johnson earn a spot in the rotation this season?

If I recall correctly, many of you were saying how James Johnson is going to replace Deng in the starting lineup at SF this season.. lol. Anyways, I'm not a James Johnson fan, first of all because the guy isn't even in shape. And from what I hear about him, he is a MMA figher. How many MMA fighters/BBall players come to training camp out of shape ? Plus from what I have seen his defense is poor to average. If he wants some PT, he...

James Johnson PF-SF 2 games- 8 mins avg Tyrus Thomas PF 4 games- 21 mins avg Tyrus Thomas is now injured. Gibson gets more minutes, Johnson gets more minutes. Johnson subs for PF and SF. Papers have been doggin'  Johnson's defense of SFs, so yes expect more minutes at PF to open up. Johnson need to play better defense on the court and obviously improve on the ability he has shown in summer league/preseason.  If you watched the...

Hopefully you get to the point where you realize well over 90 percent of the people who "post" on this site are absolute morons.  If you met them in person you wouldnt even react to any of their "opinions", because you could see theyre fools.

I'm not high on JJ.  The PF-part of his versatility, IMO, is a myth at this level.  He's no PF, except in small ball- but most players are "versatile" in that scenario. The little I've seen, he's shown little ability to hang against your normal starting SF.  He won't be any hindrance to your Carmelo's, or even a fair matchup against your Gay's or Iggy's.  IMO, he'll have to...

I mean, it's early so you really don't know. Yes, so far his minutes have been limited, but it comes down to if he can rise to the occasion with Tyrus out. This is his time to shine.
