Wilcox out: Johnson more minutes?

[KP43]

Will JaJuan Johnson see a bit moore () playing time, now that we're a big man short? I feel the kid needs to play to develop. I'm not talking about big time minutes, but something in the range of 5-8?

[MBunge]

No.

I mean, seriously, look what had to happen for Moore to FINALLY get the nod over Avery.  Look what happened with the Steamer.  He starts, plays reasonably well and then it's not just back to the bench. He's actually played FEWER minutes since than he did before starting.  Doc will probably bring Quis or Sasha back into the rotation and play small ball before he lets JJJ have a shot.

And before anybody chimes in with more Doc defending, look at how Moore played against Indiana, look at how Avery has played both last season and so far this season and please give a single reason (besides deferring to Doc's genius) for Doc simply REFUSEING to give Moore any run before this.

I would love to see him get some minutes but it aint gonna happen. The team needs some young legs to get in there and give the old fogies a few minutes here and there. Even if its for a minute or two each half, let the kid get in there... Its a win win, gives our guys rest, lets the young kids get some time for the future.

But Doc won't do it.

Thanks for the correction.  JO could be in the IL with hurt feelings for heaven's sake...

I think we will begin to see him play a bit more, KG can't keep playing the minutes he is, and JO is unlikely to remain injury free. I'm glad too, I'll watch no matter what, but I'd rather watch talent develop then our veterans drain/kill themselves to be second-rate.

Wilcox out: Johnson more minutes?

lol....Too logical.

I continue to wonder where/when anyone has actually seen or heard anything regarding JJJ that tells you he can help this team now. 

I do understand the desire to get him some run, but you can't get him in the rotation at this point of the season if he is going to be a liability.  Bradley is a different story -- he at least does have a known NBA skill.

I agree Johnson doesn't even look like a d-league all-star from what I saw of him so far. He is 2yrs. & 30-40 lbs away from production. No strength whatsoever! At a position you need it POWER FORWARD! And he looks like he is a bit stiff & unathletic!

Skinny?; Yes.  Unathletic?; Absolutely not.
