Another relatively quiet week for our man Johnson, though his play did hint at some wondrous things within the Raptors.
With the Raptors down two big men right now (Jonas Valanciunas and Lucas Nogueira) and relying heavily on the limited game of Bismack Biyombo, the time has never been more ripe for James Johnson. He, along with Patrick Patterson and the unplayed Anthony Bennett, are what constitute the rest of the big man rotation for the Raptors. As such, when you squint hard and concentrate, the role Johnson has played in the past week begins to resolve into something--it's obscure and a bit weird, but could be wondrous.
