Johnson spent last season with the Thunder’s G-League affiliate, the Oklahoma
City Blue, averaging an impressive 18.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and
1.3 blocks across 29.0 minutes per game while hitting 55.6 percent of his looks
from the field. In signing him to a two-year guaranteed deal, it seems like the
Thunder believe Johnson can be a legitimate contributor at the NBA level. He’ll
look to compete for reserve center minutes along with Enes Kanter and Nick
Collison behind starter Steven Adams.
