    Humor for the other team's fans.

    Seriously though, I'd rather keep Ryan.

    Could Tyler Johnson be the CP3 back up Codman alluded to?

    J. Johnson would certainly be an interesting fit, giving us great size and athleticism behind Tucker. However, someone would have to set him up. Keep in mind that he has been assisted on 93.4% of his shots for his career. No shot creator here.

    Interesting to think about T. Johnson as an extra combo guard. Young, can finish inside, good athlete. That checks lots of boxes.

    I'd be pretty impressed if we're switching out Anderson and actually adding pieces like this.

    I think you are thinking of James Jones in terms of being assisted, and he's not good or athletic or anything. James Johnson is definitely a shot creator

    Actually I think I see what you looked at, you looked at his assisted percentage on 3PA. His last 4 seasons he's been assisted on 38% of his 2PT shots and that's 72% of his FGA. You ever seen him play?

    You are right about the FG percentage. I was in the wrong column on Basketball Reference.
    It's J. Johnson's 3-point percentage that he's got the high assist percentage (93.4%).
