Replacing a Raptor: James Johnson

Editor’s Note: We welcome Jordan Kligman to Raptors Rapture as a Staff Writer. This is his first post.

Season Grade: C+

James Johnson was a little disappointing this season, but Dwane Casey didn’t give him much run even with Carroll hurt the majority of the season. We saw JJ’s FG% drop off from 58.9% the previous season to 47.5% this season. He was taking more jumpers this season when long 2s and 3 pointers aren’t playing to his strengths. Plus, his FT% dropped from 65.7% to 57.4%. James Johnson’s strengths are one-on-one defense and getting to the rim on offense.
