I'm not sure it gets mentioned enough...

but Roq Johnson is a pretty damn good 6th man. He plays that Brandon Vincent role pretty well.

10ppg and 5rpg in only 23mpg?

I love his effort and productivity. This is a guy that was a late spring signee...almost an afterthought and an absolute project recruit.
He has developed into a legitimate SEC role player.

I see him as a totally different player than Vincent though. Johnson is more of a wing and because of our lack of depth, he plays a lot down low.

When I've seen him, I've thought he was a very good 4 stuck in a 3 body. But maybe he has 3 skills that I haven't seen because he was filling the role he needed to fill. I like watching him play and think he does a good job, but I'd like him a lot better if he was the 8th person rounding out our rotation.

He's a guy that gives a lot of effort and I'd want him on my side during a fight (except against Patric Young, that dude is huge).

He's given us a lot more than Ware in recent games.

He is Ravern Johnson minus the 3pt shooting minus the head issues minus the laziness plus rebounding plus inside game. So to sum it up he has the same body as Ravern. If you combined their plusses, they would make one hell of a ball player.
