Joe Johnson

The seven-time NBA All-Star brings experience and scoring power to the Utah Jazz. Iso Joe hasn’t been in a situation where he has had to come off the bench in quite some time. In fact, the last game that Joe Johnson played but didn’t start, was back in the 2003-04 season for the Phoenix Suns.

That’s right, Joe Johnson started in each of the last 997 games he played over the course of 12 NBA seasons (playoffs and regular season only).

Johnson will have to adapt to playing a very different role, coming off the bench for Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood. Nevertheless, he will be a player who can help the Jazz in late game situations, with a history of coming through in clutch-time.

Next: Boris Diaw
