Johnson underwent biomechanical testing this offseason to determine if there was any way to avoid the ankle injuries that have plagued him recently, the Toronto Sun reports. "They broke it down. They stuck light bulbs on me, they have something where you can see your skeleton, the way you jump, run and move," Johnson said. "They see the way I jump, the way I land. What I do in the game. It could be something as little as the way I turn my foot inward when I slide and it just saves me from rolling my ankle. I've been doing that pretty much all summer."

Analysis:

Johnson's fantasy upside is limited by his complementary role in the Raptors' offense but if he can stay mostly healthy for once, rather than playing through nagging injuries, he might be able to improve slightly on his previous career highs of 10.4 PPG and 7.5 RPG.
