Ive always like Joe Johnson.
- Good enough handles to play PG for part of the game
- Darn Good range
- Good post up scorer
- Good distributor
- Good defender
What else can you ask from a starting SG? Notice i said Good and not Great.
And forget the money. It's not his fault his agent is gangsta and the Hawks have no negotiating skills.
His biggest weakness is his tendency to disappear in big games when he's the #1 option. I think D-Will can bring him up to par.
as a hawks fan, i feel it's my duty to tell you that your checklist about JJ is almost entirely wrong
there is no way in hell he could play PG, or more accurately...there is no way in hell anyone would WANT him playing PG
he is not a good distributor
he is a mediocre defender, he's got the size and speed but he's just lazy on that side of the ball
he is a good scorer though
15ppg on 14fga is good scoring?
Since you're a Hawks fan and had to deal with this nikka for a few years, i feel for you... but Joe Johnson is a bum, period.
