Best wishes for Jonny. He got a bad rap after getting injured. I thought he had a solid first year on a lousy team playing a lousy offense for a lousy coach. The press never seems to remember the injury that hampered him after that first year.
James is also playing with the Warriors. Should be plenty of chances for him to showcase his shooting for the association.
You might have posted that here before but I also remember Jonny being in a tough situation with the local fans and media because they only wanted Rubio and would constantly bash Jonny. Meanwhile, Jonny averaged 13.5 pts, 4.4 ast per game and started every game his rookie year. Then I course he got hurt, Minn signed Luke Ridnour who ran the Triangle better than Jonny and was a better shooter. It was a bad situation that just snowballed and now he is considered damaged goods an needs to change perception.
It'd be nice to see him have a Chauncy Billups like turn around. I remember it was thought he would be a star as soon as he entered the league, but he bounced around a while before he finally came into his own in Detroit.
Good spot for Wes Johnson?
I don't think so . . . they will have Reddick and Crawford at the 2 and Barnes and Dudley at the 3, plus they added Reggie Bullock in the draft. They need depth at the point and in the frontcourt. Now that I see it on paper, maybe no Orange fits there. Ricky could be a long shot, but I haven't even seen him listed on any summer league rosters.
Barnes is looking like he'll end up elsewhere but you're right about Dudley and Bullock being slotted in the same position which would make things tough for Wes. OKC with Kevin Martin leaving seems like it could be an attractive spot for him. Their 2nd team will definitely need somebody who can knock down some shots.
