Nice. Seems like the spark off the bench we need. Give him a couple of months in the D-League and then let's give him a shot at the Rockets backup 2 spot. Throughout preseason and summer league he always seemed like he grasped the NBA game very well. I'm less worried about losing Terry because I'm sure between Daniels and Johnson, they will be able to be productive if Terry needs to be moved in a trade.
looks like a highschool game but I'll take it <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_2cmekqsry0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He was just sent back to the Valley. I guess McHale was not impressed last night? Or will Shved be back?
He does not show much within the time he gets on the court. Shved has more to bring to the team than Johnson right now. Overall a better ball handler and shooter.
don't understand why mchale played johnson more than caanan these last couple of weeks. he's not ready.
Too bad they didn't send the rest of the team! Other than Harden/DMo... I think that'd be great... See if Howard/Smith can do something in D-league, then maybe they can win something there.
To be honest , Howard /smith have tons of talents but they commits Rockie's mistakes so DLeage might help
Yeah, I know man, it's so frustrating, I mean I was being more facetious with my comment but you do have a point.
It is clear now that Nick Johnson was the team cancer ailing the Rockets. Everyone is much more at ease and motivated without him around.
Nick Johnson has a future in the NBA, with his abilities and athleticism, and high BBall IQ - he could be special - the sky is the limit. If he continues to develop he could be the best of both Bev and Canaan - a two way player. DD
I wonder if Morey did this to force Kevin to play Canaan. Seems like NJ would always play ahead of Canaan for some reason. Of course, I'm not sure who makes these moves, the coaching staff or the FO, but I assume the FO. I personally don't see what NJ offers that this team lacks right now and would much rather see Canaan out there.

Love Bev and his passion, but the guy is out of control at times now that he's a starter. And he is so streaky as a shooter. Once Nick refines his 3 point shooting, he should be a better fit next to Harden. His BB IQ is so high, combined with his athleticism and hustle, looking forward to him taking the next step.
Hmm... Haven't seen much from Nick Johnson this year. Hopefully we give him a look, we need someone to break through and fix this mess of a back court.
