Player review: Durand Johnson, who tried to put St. John’s on his back

Johnson earned a reputation as a “volume scorer”, but did his all-around game benefit St. John’s?

Full disclosure: the Durand Johnson player review is the one I have been most dreading.

It's not because I dislike him as a player, hate his game, or anything like that (though his game wasn't hard to predict before the season - he said to the Rumble that his job was to come in and score the ball).

But it's hard to evaluate how well Johnson did in this context - next to players learning the game, in a system that was still being defined and tweaked by the staff, next to lead guards who struggled to create shot opportunities.
