    JaJuan Johnson has not requested a trade from the #Rockets. Give him a chance to pass his physical, first!

    JaJuan Johnson has the Dwight Howard complex. It is going around the NBA.

    Any minute now, JaJuan Johnson will tweet that he plans to sit out next year if not traded.

    Something to think about, the celtics is no easy team to be a rookie on. For him to be able to fill a 4 min highlight vid with so many good plays is pretty good for a rookie on a packed celtics squad. Again though, it is just a highlight mix. It doesn't show if he rebounds, has hustle, is intelligent or has a good feel for the game. But off of his measurements and that mix tape, i can't see him being much worse then jordan hill without rebounding.

    There's got to be some kind of clinical term to describe Morey's obsession with forwards, especially power forwards.

    Draft profiles characterize him as:
    Positives
    -very good mid-range, spot up shooter
    -Plays pick-n-roll defense very well
    -very good weak side help defender and shot blocker

    Negatives
    -weak lower body cant play post-up game
    -poor post defender
    -doesn't rebound well

    Summary: defensive specialist vs. stretch-four/stretch-five types

    We'll see what he learned from KG...
