Why did we not sign James Johnson?

First degree black belt, hard nosed, and plays within his role. Rumors were spreading we'd sign him but never got around to it, and now he's helping Toronto out.
 
Because Utah signed Trevor Booker.
How many PF's do you want Utah to have? And if DL had signed Johnson AND Booker, whose minutes get cut...Favors'? Kanter's? I'm sure DL and QS thought Booker might be able to develop into a stretch-4. Johnson definitely has no range.

He can play the 3. He can defend the 3 too. His defense is pretty damn good and would've been cheaper probably.

But he can't shoot as a 3. He's an interior only player.
Maybe he would have been better or cheaper than Booker. Not saying he isn't a good player, but jazz are clearly in need of floor spacers. JJ is the "D" part of "3 and D," but he needs to develop an outside shot. He's currently <20%.

Yes. All of Wyoming is completely the same as all of Utah. Anyone who can tolerate one can tolerate the other. They both suck, so people who like things that suck like both Utah and Wyoming.
