Johnson got a chance to show his stuff in the final weeks of the season. He logged the first double-double of his career in the final game of the season, filling in for Nic Claxton (finger). If the Nets shake things up and move Claxton in the offseason, the Auburn product could find himself in a favorable position on the depth chart.
