Orlando Johnson News: Johnson, who has replaced Gerald Green in Indiana head coach Frank Vogel's rotation, was scoreless (0-of-2 FG, 0-of-1 3Pt) with three rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes Wednesday night in Indiana's loss to Portland.

Johnson, who has replaced Gerald Green in Indiana head coach Frank Vogel's rotation, was scoreless (0-of-2 FG, 0-of-1 3Pt) with three rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes Wednesday night in Indiana's loss to Portland.

Vogel finally pulled the plug on Green -- something fantasy players did a long time ago. Johnson's a rookie who can shoot, but we don't see him getting the amount of minutes Green was getting when he was a full-fledged member of the rotation. D.J. Augustin will benefit more from Green's demotion than Johnson will. Johnson is someone to monitor in the coming games but not worth a roster spot at this point in time unless you're desperate.
