Los Angeles Clippers Mid-Season Grades: Wesley Johnson

Offense Grade: C

Wesley Johnson went ahead of players like DeMarcus Cousins and Paul George and while Johnson has shown flashes, he hasn’t been consistent. He can be a viable starter if he could remain consistent. After averaging an underwhelming 2.3 points last season, he has scored 6.3 points per game in various roles. When Wesley Johnson is on and hitting shots, the swagger comes out and you see the potential and ask how can we see more?

While only scoring in double digits in 12 games this season, Wes has helped the LA Clippers when they needed a three or even a cutting layup. It could be his role, but he could be a serviceable reserve with chances to show flashes for years to come.

Wes went off for a season high 24 points during his best stretch of the season when the Clippers were rolling. He’s a talented player and if Doc Rivers could find a way to make it easier on him on offense, then he can really contribute.

Wesley Johnson can be a 12 to 14 point scorer. He just needs to remain confident because he’s shown this season he can give on a good team. He can put the ball on the floor and get his mid-range off.
