Like him as a player, didn't like how he was used with the Kings. Good defender at SF and PF, good shotblocker, not much of a shooter, maybe does a little too much with the ball and looked for his offense a little too much, but who didn't on this team. Poor mans Josh Smith maybe.

Tries to do too much on offense. He got out of shape and didn't play much in the second half of the season.

Arguably the worst player the Kings had last year.

Could be a really useful role player if he could be convinced to stick to his role.

I didn't care for his ability one bit. I didn't think he was an NBA quality player.

When you factor in basketball IQ, he's arguably the worst offensive player in the NBA. His D is okay, but not worth his God awful shot selection and decision making.

But hey, he did give us that one buzzer-beater against the Knicks!

Johnson completely blows offensively. Dude tries to do too much and it wasn't pretty.

Defensively, I think he was alright.

He was a net negative overall.

He's not very good, but to be fair, he was in a terrible situation last year.
