He has played well in more games then not, so no, he is not below average.
Johnson in our losses

It should’ve been a flop warning at least. There was no possible way the defender goes flying backwards in the air the way he did without trying to force yourself to.
In reality X has shown that he doesn’t have the instincts to play point. Shoots when he shouldn’t. Has a tendency to hog the ball at times by driving the lane the whole way into trouble instead of penetrating and kicking. Starts to panic and throw up bad shots and wild passes. Takes stupid fouls away from the basket. Just doesn’t show good point instincts.
Name 7 starting ACC PG's you'd take him over. Heck, name 2.
the game winner against Northwestern where X drove the lane, drew the defender, and dished a perfect bounce pass to Penny on the baseline for the dunk. We should run that set play 30 times a game. That's an example of "good X"
As of right now, I would take him over any UNC PG, any Duke PG, Girard from SU, Beverly from Miami, Daws from Clemson, Williamson from Wake, Kelly from BC, Beverly from NC St and I would put him on a par with Kehai Clark. There aren't many good PG's in the ACC at all, so X is still better than most.
I'd like to see you list the ACC point guards that are better than X, because their aren't too many that are clear cut better than him.
You'd take him over UNC and Duke's McDonald's AA's? Also the Beverly's don't play PG. Wong plays PG when Lykes is out. Johnson may be better than whatever NCSt throws out there at PG.
I'd probably rank him around 13th ahead of the Wake and NCSt PGs.
We are talking about how they are today and today, he is better than any PG that Duke or UNC has.
I would not take him over Wong, but Beverly plays every bit as much of PG as does Wong. I would also not take X over Lykes.
Beverly has been NC St's PG just as much as anyone else and I would take X over any of them.
The only ACC PG's who are definitely better than X are Jones of Louisville and Walker of FSU. I would probably also take Kehai Clark over him as well as Hubb and Alvarado. Other than those 5, X is either better or the same. So, I would rate him around 6 or 7.
I would take both UNC FR PGs over Johnson today. I dont think you realize how bad Johnson is when he's bad and he's bad more than he's good.
No, you are right. I forgot that you are more knowledgeable regarding college basketball than anyone else on this site.
You really haven't answered any of my questions though. You made a blanket statement about how X is one of the worst PG's in the league without actually looking at all of the PG's in the league. Part of the reason why the ACC is not as good this year as they have been in the past is because well over half the teams in the conference have bad PG play.
So yeah, X has been really bad in some games. But he has also been really good in some too and many of the PG's in the ACC don't even have good games like he does.
Once again, you opened your mouth up before actually thinking and you can never admit that you are wrong every now and then. And that is being kind because many would back me up that you are wrong much more than you are right.
This is what drives me CRAZY about posters and X... yes he is very bad at times but...
do you actually watch CBB? UNC’s Love and Davis have stunk all year. They can’t shoot and don’t even create much. They just dump it into the post and watch. Or shoot and let their miss get cleaned up on the glass.
You don’t think X would look a lot better if he had that to fall back on and didn’t feel he had to create so much? I mean X is better than both of those even with poor talent around him.
