Grade the Signing: Wesley Johnson Returns for the Mid-Level Exception

After losing Jeff Green in the opening day of free agency, and then quickly scrambling to re-sign Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford, the Clippers turned to addressing their weaknesses on the wing. The first move in that department was to re-sign Wesley Johnson, the Clippers' back-up small forward from last season, for the full mid-level exception. Last season, Johnson played in all but 2 of the Clippers' 82 games, averaging 20.8 minutes a night. He scored 6.9 points and pulled down 3.1 rebounds per game, playing less minutes and taking less shots than he had in his prior two seasons with the lowly Los Angeles Lakers.
