Johnson spent last season with Dallas and played 48 games in a small role. He averaged 3.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 9.4 minutes. His shooting was the problem: 32.4 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from three, for a true shooting mark of 41.3. He made 85.0 percent of his free throws. His usage rate was 19.5, so he looked for his shot when he was on the floor. His plus-minus was -1.1. His best game came April 12 against Chicago: 20 points in 25.1 minutes.

02October so far in New OrleansJohnson's minutes have been short in October.

Johnson's minutes have been short in October. He was on the roster but did not play on October 8 against Miami. On October 14 he scored 8 points in 6.5 minutes against Dallas, his team from last season. On October 16 he had 2 points in 8.7 minutes against Washington, and he was -13 in a game New Orleans won. On the transaction side, the Pelicans exercised options on Fears, Queen and Missi on October 20. That came after the four-player trade with Memphis that Shams Charania reported on September 8.
