@JeffreyBendel_ on @heathmjohnson1 Folks should know that the value of big men is possibly the highest it’s ever been, and that certainly includes someone like Heath Johnson and his skilled, high-motor identity. He has a smooth skillset with touch, footwork, and terrific finishing ability out of the post. Johnson showed the ability to finish over either shoulder or step out and knock down the occasional jumper
