I've used that comparison before.

Johnson/Favors/Gobert would be a ****ing wall on defense.

With the favors Gobert front court looking so nice I think we have to go with a SF/SG. I think Johnson's the dude. The easy comparisons are kwahi and butler, but he is better than both of them were at this point in their careers. I'd be stoked if we got him.
 
Ok, I believe Utah's wish list is about 8 deep. Not necessarily in this order:
-
1-Okafor
2-Mudiay
3-Towns
4-Russell
5-WCS
6-Hezonja
7-Johnson
8-Porzingis
-
After that, I start to get the mehs. Suppose it was 10 deep. Pick the last 2 on the list. Any other players you guys think might go higher than any of those 8?

Yeah, that's why he'll be drafted higher than those dudes were. Give us the hard comparisons. Throw out some oddball names.

The defense would be killer with favors gobert Johnson godward and whoever else (ideally exum) out there. Halfcourt offense would be pretty messy tbh, but hopefully they'd all develop quickly and open up the paint some eventually.
 
The odds of Johnson working as hard on his game as Butler has since he came into the NBA are slim to none doe. Dude has developed at an otherworldly rate. Johnson's got dat much higher base doe.

"Just gotta keep at it, young fella" - kkk
 
I haven't watched a TON of cbb this year, but if we come out of this with Johnson or Russell I will be beyond stoked. Both of those guys can flat out play and more than that they play with attitude. Gobert will love that.

Johnson worked his *** off in high school to get as good as he is now.

He played C as a freshman, but worked on his game enough to become his team's PG his junior and senior years.

He could be josh Howard or tayshaun prince in their respective primes. I need to watch him more.

So he has a strong work ethic? I heard his coach said something to the effect that he has to make sure he keeps him focused in practices... Has really been my only hesitation on the guy.
 
Would be killer to have a prime Josh Howard on the team. Utah fans hate him of course doe.
 
I was always a big Josh Howard fan. I didn't hate him like most of y'all others. He was washed up when he got here and had lost his stroke. He took shots that he used to make with ease. Yeah, he should have realized soon that he was missing all of them, but he must have a small brain or something
