Coming in with the second unit as they do, Ed Davis and Amir Johnson probably don’t get the credit they deserve.
The NBA is a starters game for the most part (they do honour a sixth man of the year) leaving the bulk of NBA rosters to toil in obscurity.
But Davis and Johnson are pushing the boundaries of late. Johnson has always been a pogo stick of bottled energy and now Davis has taken on a similar energized look, getting his teammates extra possessions, pulling down and fighting off would-be rebounders for loose balls.
