Explanation: Came out of nowhere as 27-yearold rookie
from the D-League. Provided solid minutes off the bench. Brought effort,
toughness, and blue-collar attitude. Improved as year went on. Played in 56
games and was more than adequate as a reserve, making about as little money as
possible in the NBA. More than earned his $473 K salary. As nothing was
expected, he greatly outperformed expectations.
Overall:
Ivan Johnson has one of my favorite nicknames of all-time: “Nine-to-Five.”
Actually, I don’t even know if it’s really his nickname, I just know that it’s
what Bob Rathbun calls him and I love it. It’s a pretty apt description of
Ivan’s on-court persona. He’s a grinder. He’s rugged. He’s effort, grit, and
toughness. He’s an oversized underdog with a bad disposition.
Ivan’s a more talented
basketball player than nearly everyone on the planet, but as far as the NBA is
concerned, his natural ability level is near the bottom. He’s gotta work for
everything. But that’s what you love about the guy. When he’s on the floor good
things may not always happen. He may make mistakes. But you know he’s gonna be
out there working.
Look, Ivan’s got some
anger/attitude issues. We know this. That’s part of the reason he’s had to
struggle so much just to get where he is. It’s part of the reason he was in the
D-League for the Hawks to come along and pluck out. We’ve seen a little of that
since he’s been in Atlanta but nothing to be overly upset about. It certainly
doesn’t overshadow his energy and effort. It’s just really easy to root for
this guy. The chip on his shoulder is actually part of the appeal.
Ivan’s gonna work
because he has to. Sure, we expect NBA players to want to win and to be
extremely competitive. But for Ivan it’s not just a game. It’s not just about
the image and the lifestyle. It’s his job. He’s gonna work. He’s a basketball
player. That’s what he does for a living.
Ivan was a complete
unknown to all but the most extreme basketball junkies. The rest of us still
don’t know that much about the guy. What we do know is that he was a genuine
“diamond in the rough” for a franchise that hasn’t found too many over the
years. Hell, no franchises have found many diamonds as rough as “9-to-5”. There
aren’t a lot of undrafted 27-yearolds who win Rookie of the Month honors. When
Ivan started playing regular minutes for the Atlanta Hawks it was as if he came
from nowhere. Almost nobody knew who this guy was.
This being the case,
it’s probably appropriate to give at least a surfacy account of IJ’s path to
the Hawks. Nine-to-Five hails out of San Antonio, Texas. After high school
Johnson attended Cisco College (JC), a relatively small community college in
the rural town of Cisco, Texas. He played the 2002-2003 season for the
Wranglers as a freshman.
Ivan redshirted the
2003-2004 season, transferring to Los Angeles Southwest College (JC), an urban
community college about twice the size of Cisco. During the 2004-2005 season,
Johnson averaged 22.3 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game for the
Cougars as a redshirt sophomore. This earned Ivan a shot at the big time.
Johnson left LASC and transferred to Oregon for his junior year.
Johnson played in 28 of
33 games for the 15-18 Ducks in the 2005-2006 season, averaging 7.5 P/G, 3.2
R/G, and 0.9 S/G. However, head coach Ernie Kent declined to extend IJ’s
scholarship another year, citing “anger management issues.” So Ivan transferred
to Cal State San Bernardino (Division II) for his senior season.
CSUSB is located in a
suburban area of San Bernardino and is more than twice the size of LASC.
Johnson played the 2006-2007 season with the Coyotes and made 1st
team All-CCAA (California Collegiate Athletic Association). After playing for 4
different college teams in 5 years, Johnson went undrafted in the 2007 NBA
draft.
He was, however, picked
20th overall in the NBADL draft by the Anaheim Arsenal. IJ played with
the Arsenal and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers during the 2007-2008 season,
moving to the Vipers in March.
Johnson decided to play
overseas in 2008-2009, joining the Changwon LG Sakers of the KBL (Korean
Basketball League). Johnson played in the KBL again in 2009-2010, this time for
the Jeonju KCC Egis. Unfortunately, Johnson was “banned forever” from the KBL
after giving the middle finger to a ref during the final game of the league
championship series.
While his career in
South Korea was apparently over, IJ would get another chance to play closer to
home. I don’t really know how this works but Nine-to-Five went for a 2nd
time in the D-League draft, this time going 15th overall to the Erie
Bay Hawks. Johnson excelled for the DL Hawks in 2010-2011, playing in the
D-League All-Star Game, and being named 1st team All-NBADL and 2nd
team All-Defense.
Following the season,
Johnson played in the BSN (Baloncesto Superior Nacional) of Puerto Rico for the
Caciques de Humacao during the spring of 2011. With the NBA hung up in the
lockout, Johnson was one of many American pro players to look for work in
China. He signed with the Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles of the CBN (Chinese Basketball
League) in November.
However, in early
December Johnson would sign with the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA. At the age of
27, after playing for 11 different teams over 9 years, he had finally made it.
We’ll look at how
Johnson emerged as a valuable member of the team in the season review section.
For now let’s get back to the overall review.
Ivan played in 56 of 66
games for the Hawks this season, all off the bench, averaging 16.7 MPG. He shot
.513/.333/.720 and averaged 6.4 P/G, 4.1 R/G, 0.6 A/G, 0.8 S/G, and 0.3 B/G
with 1.2 TOV/G.
IJ played in 28% of the
Hawks available minutes this season, which was actually the 7th
highest number on the team. Ivan was a versatile role player, playing at least
some time at 4 different positions (SG, SF, PF, and C). He played a miniscule
amount of time at shooting guard and center, with almost all of his minutes
coming at the forward position. He played a good amount of time at the 3, but
his primary position was power forward. Johnson slightly out-produced his
counterpart on the floor overall this season.
Along with his effort
and energy, Johnson is a tough and physical player. He is an active rebounder
and defender. He is certainly foul prone, but this isn’t much of a problem
because he comes off the bench. Also, fouls just come along with the kind of
physicality that Johnson brings on the defensive end and doing the dirty work
on the offensive end. The Hawks allowed 1.5 fewer points per 100 possessions
with Johnson on the floor than they did with him off the floor.
One interesting thing
about IJ is that he’s not at all shy on the offensive end. Johnson is not
scared to get involved offensively and this is actually a big asset for him.
Usually it wouldn’t be surprising for IJ not to be scared, but a lot of reserve
big men focus primarily on rebounding and otherwise stay out of the way on
offense. That’s certainly not the case with Johnson, as he actually had a USG%
of 19.5.
Johnson is a capable
scorer from inside (.681 EFG), although he is a bit prone to getting blocked.
21% of his close shots (inside shots other than tips and dunks) were blocked
this season. The other side of this is that he is good at drawing contact,
getting fouled on 15.9% of his FGA.
IJ will shoot jumpers
(50% of his FGA were jump shots), although he’s not very good at making them
(.350 EFG on jumpers). He’s also not timid about taking a shot late in the
possession. In fact, perhaps because he was rarely one of the first options,
40% of IJ’s FGA came with less than 10 seconds on the shot clock (.414 EFG).
IJ’s offensive weak
points are his ball handling skills and his passing. He is not a good passer
and very turnover prone. Johnson’s 0.44 ATO was flat out awful. He had 72 total
turnovers. He does not have good hands (26 ball handling turnovers) and he had
almost as many turnovers on bad passes (27) as total assists (32). Like
Zaza—another player who makes his living with toughness and tenacity—Ivan
commits a high number of offensive fouls (14).
It’s possible that
he’ll get better at avoiding fouls on both ends of the floor in the future, but
he’s probably always going to be a bit of an offensive liability due to his
poor ball handling and passing. Offensively, the Hawks were much worse as a
team when Johnson was on the floor, scoring 3.6 fewer points per 100
possessions. Overall, the Hawks outscored opponents by 2.4 more points per 48
minutes without IJ on the floor than they did with him in the game.
Despite beginning the
year deep on the bench, Johnson played in 20% of the Hawks CLUTCH minutes this
season. Again, IJ was not scared. His P/48 increased from 18.3 overall to 21.3
during CLUTCH, while he made 6 of 8 FGA for a .750 FG% in CLUTCH (up from .513
overall). Interestingly, Johnson did not take a jump shot all year during
CLUTCH. On the negative side, Johnson had no assists in CLUTCH and he did
commit 4 turnovers, including 2 offensive fouls. He went 5 of 8 from the line
during CLUTCH.
Statistics:
We
don’t have much to compare IJ’s stats to, as this was his first year in the
NBA. He had 3 DD and .113 WS/48 this season. He posted a 55.8 TS% and a .516
EFG. Johnson had a slightly below average PER of 14.37.
Ivan was near the top
of the team rankings in R/48, S/48, and B/48. However, when you look at the per
48 minute numbers you see just how big of a problem fouls and turnovers were
for IJ. Other than Donald Sloan (who played in just 5 games for the team), Ivan
had the highest PF/48 and TOV/48 on the team. Only Jason Collins averaged fewer
A/48 on the team.

Ivan was tied for 3rd on the team in DD (3).

Note:
Some of these stats are a bit misleading, as IJ played by far the fewest
minutes of the 6 qualified Hawks players. He winds up among the team leaders in
fewest PF/G and fewest TOV/G because he was in the game much less than the
other 5 qualified Hawks. In reality, fouling and turning the ball over were two
of IJ’s biggest problems this season.
NBA
Leaderboard: None.
Season
Review: Johnson played in 56 of 66 games off the bench. He
began the year buried deep on the bench, but by season’s end he would be a
regular rotation player. He burst onto the scene in early January, seemingly
out of nowhere. He ended the regular season playing his best ball of the year.
Ivan played 8 total
minutes during blowout victories in the first 2 games of the season, but did
not appear in the next 4. Then on January 5th, during a 3-OT loss to
the Heat at home—a game that would be among the most frustrating of the entire
season—Nine-to-Five was born. Looking like a slimmed down version of Clubber
Lang, Ivan came out of nowhere to score 13 points with 4 boards and a steal,
hitting 5 of 7 shots from the floor and 3 of 5 at the line. He also committed 5
turnovers, and perhaps most impressive of all, he managed to foul out of the
game in 21 minutes.
Still--on a night when
the disinterested Hawks played 63 minutes against a Miami team playing without
Dwyane Wade and LeBron James and still managed to lose—Johnson had been like a
shot of adrenaline. It was on that night that Hawks fans learned about 9-to-5.
Johnson would play in
22 straight games beginning with that loss to the Heat. His next DNP would not
come until February 14th. In mid-March Johnson missed several games
while experiencing both ends of the human comedy. He missed 3 straight from
March 11th through the 14th, heading back to Texas for
the funeral of a family member and the expected birth of his child. The baby
wasn’t quite ready yet, so Ivan missed another game on the 21st when
his child finally was born.
Johnson’s final missed
game of the year came on April 13th when he was suspended by the
team for 1 game due to “conduct detrimental to the team.” What Johnson did was
never made public, and the announcement did come as a bit of a surprise. But
that was basically all anyone heard about Ivan having any sort of behavioral
problems.
After showing what he
could do against Miami, Johnson got plenty of playing time in January as the
Hawks dealt with some injuries. His minutes decreased in February but his
production actually increased. Ivan played increased minutes in March and
April, and his shooting really improved. His best month of the season was
April. The great thing about Ivan was that he got better as the year went on.
In his first 34 games
(through March 7th) Johnson played 13.7 MPG and shot .434/.000/.796
while producing 4.9 P/G, 3.4 R/G, 0.5 A/G, 0.6 S/G, and 0.3 B/G with 1.1 TOV/G.
In his final 22 games Johnson
averaged 21.4 MPG and shot .600/.400/.647 while producing 8.7 P/G, 5.0 R/G, 0.7
A/G, 1.1 S/G, and 0.4 B/G with 1.4 TOV/G.
2012
Postseason Grade: C
Grade
Explanation: Played okay, particularly for undrafted
rookie making less than half a million. Played at least 12 minutes in each of
first 3 games, but just 6:10 over final 3 games, playing just 10 seconds in
game 5, and not at all in game 6. Made big shot and FT late in game 2 after
Smith injury. Struggled at times on defense and had hard time avoiding fouls.
Statistics:
Nine-to-Five
played in 5 of the 6 playoff games, averaging 13.3 MPG off the bench. He shot
.313/.000/.600, totaling 13 points, 17 rebounds, 3 steals, 7 personal fouls,
and 3 turnovers.
Ivan played 54 total
minutes in the series (11th out of 13 on the team) and had a +/-
number of -13 (8th on the team). His W-L-T record in the series was
1-3-1. Johnson had a PER of 7.9 (8th) in the Boston series, amassing
0.0 WS (tied 9th) and .013 WS/48 (9th).
Postseason
Review: Ivan played okay overall in the Boston series. It
would have been unrealistic to expect too much from Johnson. Johnson gives max
effort and energy every night, and this is a major asset during the grind of
the regular season when not everyone goes hard on every play. In the
postseason, basically everyone is going all out from start to finish.
Also, while Ivan is a
good enough player to produce against the average and below average squads,
he’s going to be a bit overmatched most of the time in the playoffs,
particularly against a foe as formidable as the Celtics. You also have to take
into account the fact that teams tend to shorten their rotations in the
playoffs, meaning a reserve like Johnson is more likely to be going up against
a superior counterpart in the playoffs than he would be during the long regular
season.
Ivan struggled
defensively at times in the series, although most players struggle to defend
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Johnson also had a hard time avoiding fouls in
the series and this may have limited his playing time. When Josh Smith went
down late in game 2 Johnson was forced to come back into the game for the final
4:20. He made a huge shot and FT but was ultimately unable to keep the Hawks
from losing. While the Celtics were taking over the game even before Josh went
out, once Ivan replaced Smith they were able to bury the Hawks.
Johnson played at least
12 minutes in each of the first 3 games, but with Josh Smith and Al Horford
both back for the last 3 games Ivan was not very involved. He played just 6
minutes in game 4, despite the fact that by the middle of the 3rd
quarter the game had been decided. He appeared in game 5 for just 10 seconds
and did not play at all in game 6.
The return of Horford
certainly cut into IJ’s minutes, but Larry Drew may also have felt like he just
wasn’t the best guy to use in this series because whatever matchup he drew on
defense was going to be a challenge. If you look at it, even in game 3 (when
the Hawks were without Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Zaza Pachulia and the game
lasted into overtime) Johnson only played about a minute and 15 seconds of the
final 29 minutes of the game. So Drew seemed already to be moving away from
Ivan before Smith and Horford returned.
Ivan played okay in
15.5 minutes during the Hawks game 1 win, scoring 4 points on 2 of 4 shooting
with 4 rebounds and 2 steals. However, he committed 4 fouls (about 1 every 4
minutes) and had a +/- number of -8 in a game the Hawks won by 9.
Ivan played the final
6:50 of the opening quarter of the playoffs (-1), entering with the Hawks out
in front 20-6. He scored 2 points in the period, hitting his only shot, with 1
rebound, 1 steal and 1 PF. Near the 4-minute mark he stole the ball from
Brandon Bass, leading to a breakout and a jam for Marvin that made it 24-10.
With less than 3 minutes to play in the 1st Johnson grabbed a
rebound at the defensive end and then hit a 19-ft jumper at the other end to
make it 27-12.
Ivan played a couple of
minutes at the end of the 2nd quarter (-2) but didn’t do anything
good. He came on with 2:22 to go in the half and the Hawks leading 46-30. He
fouled Pierce on a made basket and Pierce hit the FT to cut the deficit to
46-33 with 1:54 on the clock. Johnson exited with the score 49-35 ATL and 13.9
seconds left in the half.
Johnson played the
final 4-and-half minutes of the 3rd quarter (-3), scoring 2 points
(1 for 2 from the floor) with 3 boards, a steal, and a foul. He entered the
game with 4:26 on the clock and the Hawks ahead 60-45. Johnson grabbed a
defensive rebound and then got the feed from Josh and laid it up and in at the
other end to make it 64-45 with 3:48 left in the 3rd. He missed from
20-ft after that, but then stole the ball from Stiemsma and gave it to Josh,
who was fouled.
Ivan was on the floor
to start the 4th and played the first couple minutes of the final
period (-2). His only FGA of the 4th was blocked. He had 1 rebound
and 1 PF (his 4th) during the 4th quarter. He grabbed an
offensive board but his put back was blocked by KG and Ivan then fouled
Garnett. He exited with 9:56 remaining and the Hawks ahead 67-57.
Ivan’s most extensive
playing time of the series came in game 2, partly because of the injury to Josh
Smith late in the game. He played 20.5 minutes, scoring 6 points on 2 of 7
shooting (0 for 1 on 3’s, 2 for 3 at the line) with 5 rebounds and 2 TOV. He
had 2 PF but also drew 3 fouls. Johnson had a +/- number of -9 in the game,
making him -17 in games 1 and 2.
Johnson played the last
half of the 1st quarter (+2) and struggled, going 0 for 3 with 1
rebound and a turnover. He came on with 6:06 on the clock and the Hawks down
11-13. He lost the ball out of bounds at the 4:38 mark, then on the next ATL
possession he grabbed an offensive board but got his put back blocked by
Stiemsma. Johnson fired up a couple of outside jumpers over the final
3-and-a-half of the 1st, missing from 17 feet and 21 feet.
Ivan came in to play out
the final 52.2 of the 2nd quarter but didn’t have any impact on the
stat sheet and the score didn’t change. He would play 7.5 minutes in the 3rd
quarter (-4), coming on with 7:32 on the clock and the Hawks ahead 55-46. He
did some good work in the 3rd, scoring 3 points (1 for 1 from the
floor, 1 for 2 on FT’s) with 3 rebounds and drawing 1 foul, but he also
committed 2 PF.
Ivan got the dish from
Josh and scored on a layup with 5:44 on the clock to make it 57-49 Atlanta. On
the ensuing Boston possession he grabbed the rebound and gave to Josh who got
fouled by Pierce. Ivan then drew a foul on Keyon Dooling and went 1 for 2 at
the line to make it 58-49 with 4-and-a-half to go in the 3rd.
Moments later Johnson grabbed the defensive board and gave to Teague who got
fouled and hit a pair of FT’s to give the Hawks an 11-point advantage. But Ivan
fouled Pierce twice in the final 3 minutes and Pierce hit 3 of 4 at the line.
Nine-to-Five ended up
playing 5:42 in the 4th (-7). He scored 3 points on 1 of 3 shooting
(0 for 1 from behind the arc, 1 for 1 at the line) and had 1 rebound and 1 TOV.
He also drew 2 fouls. Johnson was still on the floor to start the 4th
and he grabbed a defensive board and drew a foul on Ryan Hollins on the first
possession. He took and missed a 3 at the 10:51 mark and then came out of the
game with 10:22 on the clock and the Hawks up 66-63.
He might have been done
for the game if not for Josh’s injury. That forced him back onto the floor with
4:20 left and the Hawks now down 72-74. It quickly got much worse, as the Hawks
simply couldn’t keep Boston from scoring. He got the ball stolen by Avery
Bradley, but Paul Pierce was called for a double dribble to give it right back
with 3:11 left and the Hawks down 7.
On the ensuing Hawks
possession Johnson made a big play that got them back in the game, hitting a
15-ft jumper while getting fouled by Pierce, and then nailing the FT to make it
a 4-point game with 2:52 still to go. But the Hawks couldn’t stop the C’s. Ivan
was blocked at the rim by KG with 1:11 remaining, but by that point the Hawks
were down 78-85. They went on to lose 80-87.
Ivan played about 12
minutes in game 3, which really wasn’t that much considering the game went to
overtime and the Hawks were playing with a short bench. He scored 2 points (1
for 4 from the floor) with 3 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 turnover, and 1 personal
foul. He drew 2 fouls and had an even +/- number for the game.
IJ played the final
5:13 of the 1st quarter (+2), entering with the score tied 13-13. He
missed all 3 of his FGA in the period and was called for a foul. He did have 1
rebound and 1 steal in the 1st. He stole Pierce’s pass, leading to a
3 by JJ at the other end that made it 18-13 Hawks with 4:25 left in the 1st
quarter. On the next ATL possession he took a 20-footer late in the shot clock
and missed. His 7-ft jumper was blocked by Stiemsma at the 1:20 mark. He missed
from 12-ft out and then fouled KG during the final minute of the quarter.
Ivan stayed on the
floor to start the 2nd, leaving with 10:50 on the clock and the
Hawks up 19-17. He came back on the floor with the Hawks trailing 30-32 and
played the last 4:19 of the half. For the quarter he drew 2 fouls and grabbed 2
boards. He got the board at the defensive end and Jeff Teague scored at the rim
on the other end to make it 34-32 Atlanta with 3:37 left in the 2nd.
Ivan then drew a charge on Rajon Rondo and a drew a foul on Bass over the final
minute-and-a-half, but the Hawks were down 2 at halftime.
Ivan played a little
over a minute in the 3rd (-2), committing 1 turnover but also
hitting his only shot. Johnson entered with 2:06 on the clock and the Hawks
down a point. He got a dish from JT and scored on a layup to put the Hawks
ahead 56-54 with 1:31 left in the 3rd. But then he got his pocket
picked by Rondo and exited with 53.2 seconds on the clock and the Hawks down
56-58. He sat the rest of the way and would play just 10 seconds of meaningful
game time the rest of the series.
With Horford and Smith
back for game 4, Ivan sat for all but the final 6:26 of the blowout loss. He
had 1 point, missing his only FGA but going 1 for 2 at the line. He also had 4
rebounds, drew 1 foul, and had a +/- number of +7 during garbage time.
By the time Ivan got
into the game the Hawks trailed 71-98. His only shot attempt was a put back of
a miss and was blocked (again) by Stiemsma. He drew a foul on Hollins and went
1 for 2 at the line, making the final score 79-101.
Johnson saw almost no
action in the final 2 games. He came on and played the final 10.1 seconds of
the 2nd quarter of game 5 and earned a -3 +/- for his troubles. That
was his only appearance of game 5 and he did not play at all in game 6.
Ivan didn’t play in
game 6 but he did leave his mark. After the close loss that ended the team’s
season, Ivan ended his well-earned first year in the NBA by going back to his
roots. He raised his hand and let the Boston fans know how he felt about them
with that well known middle finger salute. For the gesture Ivan was fined the
absolutely outrageous sum of $25,000. That works out to about 5.3% of his total
pre-tax salary this season.
We can only hope that
the organization picked that one up. Hell, the KBN banned Ivan forever for
flicking off a ref during a game, but even the Koreans only fined him $4,448. This
latest incident was after the game, not displayed on live TV, and was directed
at a bunch of annoying Boston people. Of course the very idea of fining someone
for a gesture of any kind is absurd, but even irrational people should be able
to see that you don’t fine a guy $25 K for this.
I will say this,
however: this is exactly what I love about Ivan. Here’s a guy who basically
didn’t play at all in the final 2 games, but his team’s done for the year, and
he’s pissed about it. Let the league take his money. He’ll work it back. One
shift at a time.
Moving
Forward: Nine-to-Five is a restricted FA so the Hawks will be
able to retain him if they choose to. He’ll be in line for a raise but he’ll
still be more than cheap for a decent reserve. I sure hope the Hawks resign
Johnson and I think they will, although it’s hard to feel certain about
anything at this point.
