Ray has took his minutes because Johnson's not as good on defense. He's slow compared to Ray and gives up too many points. I think he's been trying to do too much on offense because he thinks he's a better offensive player than Ray and can get his minutes back. It's all part of what's going on now with this team and the ban. They can all say the right things when asked, but when the game is on, these guys are thinking about what's best for them. Not all, but some.
I think the freshmen are doing less of this because they know they have more years to go. None are one and done's so they're working at learning and getting better. Same goes for Anas and Matz. I feel Johnson, Nanu, Lee and Lewis are not. Maybe even Snider a little bit. It's understandable. This situation is just so rare.
Still not knowing what's yet to come with the NCAA, I won't be surprised if Johnson goes somewhere else. Assuming there's not another post season ban, I think Ray Spalding will be the starting PF next season. Johnson as a junior will have lost his starting job.
But, hopefully I'm wrong. I hope a lot of things I feel may happen is wrong.
