Joe Johnson is a go to scorer. Some nights he's not as effective, but on nights he's on, he's still one of the best you'll find. For all the hype over losing Haywood, that dude was a coin flip on whether or not he'd choke under pressure. That's why we missed the playoffs the year before, after losing that game to the clipper's scrubs. Haywood couldn't even handle the ball under pressure, let alone try to score in traffic.
Utah's offense this year isn't going to suffer nearly as much as people thought. Rubio makes up for a ton of what we lost with Hill/Haywood, because of his ability to run an offense. Between that, and Quin trying to milk the hot hand on any given night, our offense is going to be good enough to outscore teams who are getting wrecked by our defense, way more than people expected.
