POTD 1/23/12: JaJuan Johnson On Von Wafer

Found January 24, 2012 on Hardcourt Mayhem:
PLAYERS: Von Wafer
TEAMS: Orlando Magic
75

JaJuan Johnson has scored seven baskets in his young NBA career.  I’ve seen two of the seven, both of which were dunks… and fairly nasty ones at that.  One of the five that I haven’t seen was also a dunk,  so that means 42.8% of his scores (excluding freethrows) come on throw downs.  That’s a pretty solid ratio for a young forward.  Keep it up, JaJuan!

Be sure to pause at 11 seconds.  Avery Bradley looks like he’s just eaten a lemon.

Dunk rating on the Starbury Nastiness Scale:

As much crap as I've given Glen Davis (and continue to give him) he was an important part of some incredibly talented and very good Celtics teams. When his head was in the right place and he accepted his place on the team, Baby was one of the best role players in the NBA. His value off the bench was immeasurable at times and he was a serviceable spot starter. He did a lot of...
