What I remember is that he has a black belt (too bad it's not a black belt in basketball), will help protect Luka (how often is that kind of thing actually needed?), and some said he could still play a little. He was always bottom third of the roster, minus a few hopeful folks putting him in their rotation. He's been a bit player for years. I don't remember "this board" saying anything different, except a few people.
Can guys expected to be in the bottom third of the roster ever be considered the lynchpins of a new approach? Yeah folks were excited about them, because it kind of symbolized a defensivie focus. But I don't care too much about symbols.
Obviously Josh was the defensive addition that would actually play top of the rotation minutes. And I think he has helped the defense, before covid, and now that his health and play arrows are pointing up.
I remember that some posters had him starting over Maxi. I admit that I am one of the more pessimisistic posters on this board but when I tried to voice my concern about Johnson I was attacked from all sides. Also got into it with @"KillerLeft" but that was more about him being happy that Delon was gone (no matter the cost).
