Fantasy Impact:

Johnson, who was acquired via trade, has not played for more than four minutes in a game so far this season. The move instills confidence that the front office wants him on the roster for the long haul. He is part of a young group, along with Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, Bub Carrington, Cam Whitmore, and Kyshawn George, whom the organization views as their stars of the future.
