is that Brian Johnson actually has some decent low post moves. It's just that he is a tad clumsy.

He's definitely got some nice moves. There's a reason Pitino signed him. I think his perceived clumsiness is due to how tentative he is after multiple knee surgeries.

everybody here likes to get on his case a little, but I don't fault him for not being as solid as some of us thought he might be. He was a highly touted guy, but multiple knee surgeries will kill a basketball player.... So, hopefully we can just get a good, productive 4 to 6 minutes a game from him.

Again, that might come from his broke knee. It seems like he has lost a ton of weight. Almost too much weight to be a solid post guy.

Yeah, he had a textbook bank off a turnaround. That something nice to see...however we see it far too rarely.
