Not speaking for others but my opinion is that having someone Dan Hurley thinks was even competing with AK for PT at the beginning of the year shows he has some potential.  Doesn't matter if Johnson would have started over AK (with both healthy), Hurley fully expected Johnson to share time at the four with AK.

AK has been fantastic all season, even last night, but he needs more rest than he's getting.  He should not be playing almost the whole game like he has the past two games.

With Jackson starting, the substitution patterns get a bit whacky with no one on the bench to really sub for AK.  In the PKI, Jackson could come in for any of the 1-4 positions, now there really isn't anyone.  Even if Johnson can only provide 5-8 minutes to give AK rest and is just an athletic big, he would help immensely to simply keep AK fresh.

That said, I think Johnson will come back and get at least 12 a game eventually.  Although it was against Stonehill, Johnson had a pretty solid game before his injury.
