"You know what I see in him right now? I see a guy who's not playing loose and having fun," Johnson said. "He's got to get back to that. So, I'm going to have a talk with him after the game to get him going. If he gets in that break, he can be incredible. That's where he has to get his points, in the open court, because no one can handle him in the open court."
