Play him at least 5 minutes a game.
Johnson seems too lanky for the NBA - he's tall and skinny and needs to bulk up a lot. I kinda laugh at him when I see him on the court cause he's just jumping around trying to dunk every single ball that gets to him. He needs tons of time - but this was a good move because theres no point in keeping him in the NBADL where he isn't really learning anything.
I want to see him play more but unfortunately I do not thing we have much room for him on our roster. I agree with Reppin, Amir does need to bulk up quite a bit too.
I like Amir, I think a trade is in the talks to send a couple big men away and that will make room for Amir. Maybe DD or Nazr plus Flip. I dont think him bulking up is a huge priority right now because I mean look at Chris Bosh, hes not lifting houses or anything and he can dominate a game. I think Amir would be used to stretch out defenses alot of the time with his ability to hit the mid to long range jumpers. I really hope we keep this kid around
This re-call might mean we are about to get rid of a wing or post player. We might be pulling the trigger on a Nazr trade sooner then later.
