    He can shoot up close or from behind the arc with no resistance. He definitely will need to work on his release when under pressure though ..

    Why does somebody always say No.2 pick when refering to the 2nd pick of your team or 2nd round pick...

    Johnson can handle the ball and go hard to the rim or hole, yet can wet it up if that hole is clogged!

    Rumor is, this Johnson can rise over 40 inches.

    He already came

    (get your minds out of the gutter)


    He's been with the team for all Summer since drafted. He just hasn't been able to participate yet. He's had to sit the bench waiting on FIBA clearance. No reason not to sign him or for him to go back to Europe. He's here, he's staying, he's going to have frequent flyer miles between Houston and Rio Grande Valley.

    NSFW - You know when Johnson exploded to the hole in the warm and cozy place (Vegas) that he had a chance to be something big.

    That poor guy who couldn't get out of the way actually took it to the face like a man.

    I just hope Johnson can continue to explode like that as he grows and grows.

    All good Rockets need to be able to blast off ;)

    Lets pray that Johnson can put the ball in the mouth of the rim many times this season.

    I don't think Johnson is quite as polished as some of you think.

    I expect an up-and-down year from him.

    The Rockets are going to erect Johnson a statue before it's all said and done.

    Hopefully, Johnson will do us a big solid when he gets out
