Joe Johnson doesn't fit

Joe Johnson is not a 2 or even a 3 anymore. He doesn't take shots inside the offense. His shots are ISO which have not been a part of the jazz offense for many years. His best position is a stretch 4 which he played at Miami. The problem is that Lyles is the future and that future is now. Lyles backs up favors for the time being and honestly Lyles is playing better than JJ.

That means JJ is a man without a position. The jazz can keep trying to force a square peg into that round hole (ie playing JJ as a 2 or a 3) but it won't work in the long run.

I'm def not an old timer but in my experience, older folk, if they've learned the lessons of life and it's trials and tribulations, come to understand the concept of delayed gratification. They also come to appreciate patience and value of time and familiarity.

This ****ing guy, oldtimer, is posting a bunch of malarkey.

Totally. Joe Johnson is still a great player. He will ease into the season and figure out his place as veterans do. Playoffs is where he will really shine.
 
I think it's very reasonable to draw conclusions about Joe after roughly 90 mins of play. When Alec comes back my leash will be about 25 minutes if he doesn't play well.
 
Look guys no conclusions and I get its 30 minutes of preseason ball. He looks out of place. And Naos I am old.

Are you saying that in the first 25 minutes of Burks play upon returning that you will be able to judge where he is at?
 
Joe Johnson doesn't quite fit...yet. I suspect he will fit quite well by mid-season. Even if he never fits (which I doubt) he will be worth having around for what he can teach guys like Rodney Hood.
