Brice Johnson was the other rookie forward LA drafted to play behind Blake Griffin.

Brice was expected to be the motor off the bench to help lead the Clippers far into the playoffs. Similiar to Blake his defense is his best attribute.

His defense is purely raw. Johnson is a shot blocker and is a talented player in the key. Offensively he has a smoother shot than Griffin and can shoot the 3.

With all that said he is a decent ball handler as well.
