No idea about this guy but he does look like he has upside for you fans who want to blow it all up and go young.
6'4" Eric, and that's NBA height, which is always 2-3" below reality (Charles Barkley was listed as 6'6"). As for my comment, it was more about SG being our position of need. But you be happy about this trade.
Feels like the trade will make or break with Johnson. Cronin allegedly loves upside, and this would fall in line with that. We’re talking about an elite athlete who could guard multiple positions. Billups has shown he can develop guards/playmaking so I wouldn’t be surprised if Johnson made a jump under his wing.
you have been reminding us all about "dame's timeline." do you see Johnson turning into ANYTHING by the time his rookie deal expires?
Johnson was measure just 6 months ago and his height w/o shoes was 6'3.5. Worse, his wingspan was 6'7.25. T-rex arms
If CJ also gets dealt, maybe we'll see a Simons/Johnson backcourt for the rest of the year. Would probably be the highest combined verticals in the league.
And you were throwing Roco in every trade proposal and telling us every time jakey boy mentioned his name, so what’s your point? This trade was made to clear up money for other moves. Johnson was just drafted and is a good prospect for Billups to work with. We’ve already seen multiple young players show themselves good enough to be rotation players next season, why couldn’t Johnson? If I told you before the season Simons would end up commanding 20m, or that Watford would be a rotation player good enough to make Nance expendable, what would you have said? btw didn’t you start a thread about wanting to build a younger team around Dame?
