Chris Johnson

Johnson was a nice mid-season addition to the roster from the D-League and infused the Celtics with high energy and some three-point proficiency (40 percent in first 17 games) immediately after joining Boston. His initial contributions led to a fairly consistent role in the rotation, and Johnson earned himself a second 10-day contract before signing a team-friendly, non-guaranteed deal. In 40 games, he averaged 6.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.1 blocks in 20 minutes per game. However, he was unable to sustain his shooting and dropped off pretty badly over the final month of the season, making just 33 percent overall and 21 percent from three-point range in the final 14 games. The non-guaranteed nature of his contract, which runs another three years, makes Johnson expendable. That's significant, because the Celtics have 18 players under contract entering training camp. The team also added some small forwards in the offseason, so playing time on the wing will be scarce. Johnson will have to make himself indispensable during the preseason in order to earn a roster spot.
