James Johnson has become the forgotten man.
When the Nets inked Johnson to a one-year deal on August 6, the signing itself produced a variety of reactions. Some loved the deal, others were mixed, many just didn’t know what to expect from Johnson at this stage in his career.
Then, the Nets closed out the summer by bolstering the frontcourt with LaMarcus Aldridge and Paul Millsap, adding to an already solid platoon of bigs with the likes of Nicolas Claxton, Blake Griffin, and Day’Ron Sharpe. Minutes will be hard to come by, and constructing rotations that capably feature all of these talented big men will be threading quite the needle for coach Steve Nash.
