He would be a better option at SG compared to Walker or Chandler. The guy handles the ball like a guard.

I want to develop The Mayor or SkyWalker first unless the player coming in is an outright stud.

TMS, I picked those dunks to compare to Chandler. James Johnson is the same age as Chandler with a superior skill set and almost as much athleticism. I didnt realize James Johnson could handle the ball that well until I saw him in Summer league. The guy isn't a physical specimen but is still very athletic and agile. You combine that with his skills and touch around the rim and you have a very good player.

Lee was a wimp- too afraid to take the charge, so he moved right to try to "block" the shot. That was more embarrassing that Frederic Weis and Vince Carter- Weis only ducked a bit, he didn't move aside obligingly. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind.

The dunk wasnt spectacular but the guy is pushing 250 lbs. His game has that Paul Pierce feel to it. Fluid athletes like him just give me tingles. NY Knicks - Retirement home for players and GMs

James Johnson was a crunch time player in the games I watched him in college. He made
smart decisions as well as having some skill. Pierce's game is similar. Bill Simmons on Tyreke Evans
"The prototypical 0-guard: Someone who handles the ball all the time, looks for his own shot, gets to the rim at will and operates best if his teammates spread the floor to watch him."

Hes a guy who might one dya be good--but on the other hand still needs significant development time and teams who want to win now don't have the roster spot for that. You might want to check in with D Kahn
