Wesley Johnson needs to continue playing well

One of the early bright spots for the Clippers has been the play of a rejuvenated Wesley Johnson. In years past, Johnson’s inconsistent play has lead to him getting buried to the bottom of the rotation. The Clippers can’t have that this season. While it may not be ideal, the Clippers need Johnson to be a solid contributor for the team to stay afloat in the west. Gallinari is already dealing with a lingering hip issue that held him out of Tuesdays matchup with the Spurs. After WeJo you only have Sam Dekker at SF or have to play with a three-guard lineup. Johnson is key to the Clippers success right now.
