He's the best rebounder on the team, he doesn't take unnecessary shots, he can make free-throws. The guy is a good basketball player for his positionSimmons doesnt play because he isnt particularly good at basketball. Being slightly better than Hubert doesnt make him starter material

He is not a fluid basketball player, but he is a solid basketball player and has a good jump shot.

He isnt a good defender and he doesnt shoot because he isnt good at it. I'm fine with him playing the minutes that he does because he is a competent player, but if any big guy needs more pt its Brice Johnson, the best post scorer on the team

But Johnson doesn't have that good of a defense either... and can't rebound that well. I believe he does have way more potential than Simmons but neither should be startingHe isnt a good defender and he doesnt shoot because he isnt good at it.

Helps him learn to catch the ball better and also helps his basketball visuals...Yeah what were those glasses all about? I wasn't really listening.

Difference is Johnson has room to grow on defense, he's already the 2nd best shot blocker on the team (yeah thats sad) and he is good at staying in front of his man even if he cant stop him in the post. Simmons is a better rebounder, but this team already rebounds well (when PJ and Reggie hit the glass like they have lately).
But the biggest difference is Johnson adds a whole new dimension to the half court offense- the ability to throw it in the post, which is how Roy traditionally runs the offense. Sure he probably doesnt deserve to start yet, but neither do any of the other big men, so fug it I think he should start. The team next year will be better if he gets more pt now
