Reporter: “When you’re out there, does it just feel easier? What do you notice more, your confidence rising or your comfortability within the team?”

Johnson: “I think it’s all the above, to be honest. This year I’m playing a lot more minutes, so I think just getting comfortable within the game. I’m understanding the NBA game a lot more, understanding where I can take advantage of certain areas. I think I’m just getting a lot smarter as the games and days go on, I think that’s a huge thing for me.”
