James Johnson (SF/PF, TOR) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED: 18% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball League

ANALYSIS: James Johnson was given his first opportunity to start this season on Saturday and took full advantage of it to the tune of 15 points, 10 boards, 4 assists and 2 blocks. Johnson has always been an interesting case when given the minutes to properly produce, unfortunately the minutes have been his biggest issue during this season. There is growing sentiment throughout the media that coach Dwayne Casey should consider keeping the defensive minded Johnson as the permanent starting small forward and delegate Terrance Ross to the bench as DeMar DeRozan approaches his return from injury. So Fantasy Basketball owners should consider the low risk, high reward that is James Johnson. Monitor his minutes. So long as he is getting onto the court, he'll have the opportunity to succeed, giving owners solid production in five categories.
