    James Johnson Will Work Out For Spurs, Hawks, Jazz

    Aug 21, 2013 11:48 AM EDT
    Free agent forward James Johnson will attend workouts for the San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks and Utah Jazz and is hoping to leave teams impressed, league sources told RealGM.
    Ever since Johnson was drafted 16th in the 2009 NBA draft, teams have envisioned him as an athletic forward at 6-foot-9, but he’s yet to put together a breakout season in four years.
    Johnson’s ability to perform in workout settings could have one team intrigued enough to give him an opportunity, though.
    Johnson played a complete season with the Chicago Bulls in 2009-10, but he was traded to the Toronto Raptors the next year and averaged 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 2011-12. Johnson, 26, spent last season as mostly a reserve for the Sacramento Kings.

    I liked what I saw with the Kings last year. Nothing flashy but can do a little of everything.

    Do the Spurs envision him as a backup SF? I know he played both positions with the Kings. Not a bad option all things considered.

    I don't really see Spurs being interested in him at the SF spot mostly because of his lack of shooting range but he would be a nice option as a mobile PF. Adding a mobile PF like Johnson would reduce the "hole" at the backup SF spot because it would allow Spurs to avoid playing small ball with Kawhi at the 4.

    I don't know if it's a coincidence but the three teams working him out have a "Spurs" GM.
