Remember Ivan Johnson?? I was googling old Oregon Ducks basketball videos, and eventually found some ducks Ivan Johnson highlights which led me to find that. So random, but kinda cool too.

I'm surprised it took this long to make it to the forum. He's actually been playing really well for a few weeks. If you follow Matt Prehm on twitter he's been all over it. Even had Ivan as his avatar pic for awhile.

He was in the D-league for the previous 3 seasons as well. He was 3rd in scoring last year @22.6 ppg

Ivan Johnson was a maniac at Oregon, he always got in the mix when things got chippy on the court. I was shocked to see that he made it to the NBA though..

That guy was a talent that unfortunately needed to mature a bit. Of course at the time the coaching staff didn't seem to have the penchant for working with players to develop big man skills or develop personal skills once a player was in the "doghouse."
I actually put him on my fantasy team a couple weeks ago when Atl got a bunch of injuries. He's had a few really big games.

Now that this thread was made I totally remember seeing his face on tv and thinking, "why is that so familiar?"
