2014
After enjoying stability over the first four seasons of his career while in Miami, Johnson has worn a couple of other uniforms over the subsequent pair of campaigns. The team he was most recently with this past summer, the Nets, liked what they saw from the young veteran in the Orlando bubble and opted to re-sign him in late November. Johnson averaged 12.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 24.3 minutes over eight seeding games, but that level of opportunity came about due to both Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie being unavailable. With both players healthy and ready to start the season, Johnson slots into a No. 3 point guard role and could conceivably also see time at shooting guard on occasion. Nevertheless, he could be hard-pressed to match the 18.2 minutes per contest he averaged overall between the Suns and Brooklyn last season, which, when paired with his typical shooting inefficiency of the last few seasons, significantly hampers his draft stock in anything but the deepest of formats.
Johnson exercised his $19.3 million player option to remain with the Suns after coming over from the Heat last season. The guard averaged 10.9 points, 3.0 assists and 2.9 rebounds in limited action for both Phoenix and Miami and appeared in just 57 games while dealing with a knee injury. His production went up during his 13 games in a Suns uniform, averaging 11.1 points, 4.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals. He logged 31.5 minutes per night in Phoenix, though he doesn't figure to see that much action in 2019-20 with the additions of veteran point guard Ricky Rubio and rookie point guard Ty Jerome to the backcourt. Johnson could still see minutes in the mid-20s, and if fully healthy and back to pre-injury form, he could provide some value in points, rebounds and assists. But overall, he's a risky fantasy pick.
As a result of Dion Waiters being limited to 30 games last season prior to undergoing ankle surgery, Johnson started 39 of his 72 appearances and saw 28.5 minutes per contest. Though he made an improvement of 1.4 percent to his true shooting, Johnson averaged 2.0 fewer points per game last season compared to 2016-17 as a result of fewer field-goal and free-throw attempts. The fifth-year guard out of Fresno State also saw his rebounds (3.4), assists (2.3) and steals (0.8) per game fall, despite averaging only 1.3 fewer minutes than in 2016-17. Things don't seem likely to improve, either, as Josh Richardson emerged as a legitimate starter for the Heat last season and Waiters will be returning from his injury. With uncertainty surrounding his role, Johnson can probably be avoided until the latest rounds of most Fantasy drafts.
Johnson -- in his third season -- was given increased responsibility within the Heat’s offense during the 2016-17 campaign, seeing his usage rate rise from 16.8 to 20.9 percent. He’s essentially the definition of a combo guard, spending 53 percent of his time at point guard and 47 percent of his time at shooting guard last year. He continued to shoot the rock well from beyond the arc at 37.2 percent, though saw his overall field-goal percentage dip from 48.6 percent to 43.3 percent, largely due to his increased responsibility as a scorer. While Johnson didn’t make a huge leap in any of his counting stats, he impressively reduced his turnovers per 100 possessions from 2.8 to 2.1 despite his increased touches. The Heat have made no changes to their backcourt heading into the 2017-18 season, making it likely that Johnson will see a similar workload as he did last year. Though he probably won’t make huge statistical jumps, if Johnson is able to distribute at a slightly higher clip and increase his overall shooting efficiency, he’ll be a solid player to target in a variety of Fantasy formats because of his workload and ability to play both guard slots.
Johnson appeared in just 32 games for the Heat last season, but was able to show flashes of being an effective member of the team's backcourt rotation in his limited role, finishing with averages of 5.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 steal in nearly 19 minutes per game. Now, at 23 years old and entering just his second year in the league, Johnson has plenty of room to grow but currently remains buried on the team's depth chart. At the shooting guard position, he is likely already behind both Dwyane Wade and Gerald Green in the rotation, so he will have to beat out rookie guard Josh Richardson for that third spot. However, given how thin the team currently is at point guard, it is possible Johnson could see some run at that position. Regardless, Johnson is in the final year of his contract with Miami, so he will be looking to make the best of any time he gets on the floor. And when he is at his best, Johnson is a capable shooter and solid rebounder for someone his size, but his production relies entirely on his playing time.
Johnson earned a spot on the Heat after an impressive stretch of games playing in both the Orlando Pro Summer League and the Las Vegas Summer League for the Heat. In 11 games, he averaged 12.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists on 22 minutes per game. The rookie did enough to impress head coach Erik Spoelstra this summer, but the graduate of Fresno State may ultimately be the last guy on the bench this season for the Heat. Entering the season with an unguaranteed contract will likely pose problems for the 22-year-old's long-term status with Miami. It's not impossible to imagine him in a Heat uniform all season, although it seems like a foregone conclusion that he'll struggle to see much NBA action in 2014-15.

Rockets could be interested
GFree Agent
June 19, 2020
The Rockets are looking at Johnson as a possible free-agent signing ahead of the resumption of the season, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was waived by the Suns in early February. He appeared in 31 games, averaging 5.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.6 minutes. If signed by the Rockets, he likely would only be an insurance policy if other rotation players get hurt, leave the bubble or contract coronavirus.
