Last season with the Suns, Johnson actually saw his minutes per game decrease slightly, but his points and rebounds per game, as well as his three-point shooting percentage, rose to career-high levels.
To put into perspective the kind of talent J.J. has, he was one of only 11 NBA players to average 16 points, four rebounds and four assists last season.
Woodson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Johnson, "has great court vision and has a special knack for making the right pass at the right time." There is arguably no greater skill a point guard can possess than court vision, a skill that J.J.'s childhood basketball influence, Magic Johnson, perfected during his 13-year NBA career.
