I am not optimistic about it working but I'd love to see Doc try him out there.

Here's a crazy idea.  Let's actually TRY and play JJJ at the three before the assembled basketball geniuses of this blog decide it can't work.  I mean, is this how you guys handle the rest of your lives?  Making up your mind up that something won't work so you never even attempt it?  Man, your dating experiences must be pretty pathetic.

Yeah, because when we decide things aren't going to work for us in a date because we like women, we tend to stick with women. Some of us guys are hard headed about that stuff.

We tend not to like our centers being point guards. We tend not to like our small forwards being power forwards. And we tend not to like our girlfriends being dudes.

Doc already said earlier this year that JJJ is strictly a PF and there is no chance he will play SF. I can't find the article right now, but I definitely remember him saying this .
He is right too, he doesn't have the lateral quickness to cover most SF's

Never ceases to amaze me how often people turn to unproven players as the solution when things go wrong - Brandon Hunter, Orien Greene, Paddy O'Blount just to name a few. And look at how the three of them turned out.

Johnson and Moore are a LONG way from being useful NBA contributors.
