This 28 yr old wing is an freakish athlete who plays solid defense. After a disappointing stint in Minnesota, he settled in with the lakers as a role player. He had a "career" yr (9.9ppg) last yr only because he got so many touches on a bad team without Kobe.

STRENGTHS
- freakish athlete; explosive dunker
- underrated 3pt shooter (35%)
- excels in transition

WEAKNESSES
- cant create off the dribble
- streaky shooter
- low IQ

Overall
- could excel in triangle (as a role player) with cutting
- provides defense and spacing with 3s
- could be a cheap pickup since hes not a star

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Wes Johnson is OK, but we have younger, cheaper guy in Cleanthony who can do the same things.

Early is no where near the level of Matthews (pre-injury) who was a hard nosed 2 way defender of both guard and wing who could also knock down the three at a +40% clip.

The problem is we don't know how Matthews will play post Achilles tear. He could be a shell of his former self. I'm a fan of his Id like it if we could get him at a discount. It's def a gamble but hey you don't win without taking some gambles. Getting Matthews at even 70% of what he was for a couple mil a year would be a bargain and a half.

Sorry dude, you've got the wrong Wes. This is about Wesley Johnson.

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

Just the same, i'd rather wait until summer league and see the progress made by early, Thanasis and who ever else we draft before bringing in someone like Wes Johnson.

Why are we going after low IQ players?
