Should JaJuan Johnson play Small Forward instead?
WEEI
Johnson attempted only five shots in their opener on Monday and he was more aggressive from the outset in their second game, knocking down a pair of outside shots. But the Celtics need to know A) if he can hold up against bigger opponents and B) what his natural position truly is in the NBA.
Johnson is too sleight to handle the physical pounding inside, but he is skilled and...
JaJuan Johnson picked KG’s brain all season long
We’re a bit obsessed with Kevin Garnett, because Kevin Garnett is the trigger to the entire Celtics offseason. He’s also a freak of nature who played some amazingly great basketball at 36 years old, after 17 years in the league, at the end of a compressed season that killed everyone physically. The simple fact is, he’s still good, so we still want him.
There’s another...

Does JaJuan Johnson deserve rotation minutes?
I am really busy today (work and other engagements, namely my little brother’s final home high school hoops game of the year), but JaJuan Johnson needs discussing.Clearly, his 33 minutes yesterday were exciting and encouraging. He did a lot of great things — his run-out for an alley-oop, when he beat everyone down the court by a country mile; the following defensive play, when...
JaJuan Johnson on life in the NBA
The rookie is still learning the ropes of the NBA in this express season but seems to be a great character guy in the locker room. I often wonder why the Celtics traded for him and then don't give him minutes to develop. Meanwhile the original draft pick, MarShon Brooks, is challenging for rookie of the year in New Jersey.
The only excuse for not giving him time(and its a good...

Morning Walkthrough: JaJuan Johnson not going to be a post threat
Gary Washburn, Boston Globe:“Up and down, he’s getting beat up,’’ Rivers said when asked about Johnson’s progress in practice. “He’s excited when he actually gets the [scrimmage] refs to come on the floor, I’ll tell you that. But he did a couple of good things today. He’s starting to learn who he is. He knows he’s a jump shooter and he’s starting to become...
