I for one do not think KG is 6-11.  I think he is closer to 7-1 anyone else?
Yeah that's pretty much conventional wisdom, including from Kevin McHale who's said KG's 7 feet many times over the years.

We simply can not give up on Johnson. He had no summer league, no camp to speak of so I give him a pass for last year. So many people buried Bradley on this site and I kept saying that he would be very good (I had watched him play at Texas, I live in Houston) and look what happened. Additionally, what are we expecting from a guy drafted at number 27? It is not like we selected him at No. 7 or something. Lets give him a break.

We're not absolutely certain he can't play the 3. For that matter I'm not absolutely certain J-cube can play at all.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Seems like a great kid , unfortunately with all the new talent comming out this year and FA's... unless he impresses Doc & DA more he might find himself in the D -League really fast

Better the D league, that I think he'd absolutely tear through, than the end of the bench. 

My question is how much has he learned from his first-year benching?  Will he know the plays and defensive rotations cold?  How much Ray Allen-esque work is he putting in on getting better?

We were saying the same things about Avery Bradley.  You have to give these guys regular run, practice, and game exposure before you know.

JJJ is a super athlete at 6'11" with a halfway decent outside game.  Far too much value to throw dirt on the coffin yet.  Let's see him play in summer league.
