Orlando Johnson

[8on]

This guy now works for Robert Sarver.

That is all I know. If anyone would like to tell us what's good about him, I would be interested to know. Otherwise, I'm kind of tired and lazy. yes.

“He plays with his heart like Tuck (P.J. Tucker),” Watson said. “He’s athletic. He’s shooting the ball well from 3 right now. But what we need more than anything right now is like-minded players. He has a like-minded attitude coming from the Spurs program. You know the attitude he’s going to have. He’s going to play the right way.”

Johnson, 6 feet 5 and 220 pounds, was averaging 15.2 points and shooting 48.6 percent from 3-point range for Austin to be named a D-League All-Star. Johnson played 89 games with Indiana in 2012-13 and 2013-14 before being waived and spending his last NBA time on 10-day contracts in Sacramento two years ago.

His agent called him just before midnight Friday and he left the hotel three hours later to take a flight to Phoenix to join Friday’s practice.

“I could tell they’re trying to go in the right direction,” Johnson said. “Earl is definitely going to be someone to catapult that and get it going. Being around this whole organization, I’m going to be able to provide something – that spark. Just be a dog. Be an animal out there. Give everything I have.”

I'll just quote my post in the trade thread from yesterday:

NBA D-League All-Star (2016)
Big West Player of the Year (2010)
AP Honorable Mention All-American (2010)
3× First-team All-Big West (2010–2012)

He played in the Philippines this summer:

In fact, Johnson made waves right away in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Governors’ Cup, scoring 50 points in his debut game opposite the Alaska Aces. He followed it up with a 46-point and 47-point explosion against the Talk ’N Text Tropang Texters and KIA Carnival, respectively.


And Johnson, for his part, believes he is tailor-fit for the Gin Kings.

“I think I’m the perfect import for Ginebra,” the 26-year-old reinforcement said during an interview on CNN Philippines’ Sports Desk on Friday (May 29).

Why?

“I fell like I can do everything on the court,” Johnson, who was actually with the Indiana Pacers during the National Basketball Association (NBA) Global Games here in 2013.

“I can guard and play multiple positions. I’m an unselfish player who loves to compete. So I think, for me, I’m the best import because I’m confident in my game. And I have a supportive family who pushes me to be the best.”

We are just short on bodies. W is trying to change the attitude in the locker room. Kudos for that. Just don't mess up the tank. This kid isn't going to do that but the team suddenly deciding to play hard might.
