Message: [QUOTE="JerseyAlum, post: 5133334, member: 13593"] Main question is did Johnson "improve" from last year to this year like say Ball or Stewart or Ross has done? I say no, and he is what he is and has always been: an energetic rim rocker/protector who gets more dunks than anything else but that makes him very one dimensional. Best for him was coming off the bench after Clingan erased so much that he has energy and the opposing teams were worn down. Reed, Jr is a two year starter, has managed almost a double-double from the bench, and has to be respected as an offensive piece while Johnson is often too predictable on offense and not respected as a player (to wit, most teams think Karaban is our only true scorer and defender). If Hurley can swap in Diarra for Mahaney he can certainly swap in Reed for Johnson. [/QUOTE]
