From London to Jersey, Johan was everywhere in the last full month of the regular season.
February 2011
Johan asserted himself at either end of the floor as the Nets moved through February.
Though Johan has only been with his new team for a few weeks, he's been there long enough to impress his new coach.
Asked recently by the Denver Post why the Nuggets had acquired No. 27, Denver coach George Karl's response was illuminating.
"Insurance. Size. When you look at our team against some in the West, in a seven-game series, you need more size. You're not talking about 20 minutes a game, you're probably talking over a seven-game series, 70 minutes. But there are those opportunities where size is an insurance policy. And I think Petro can play in the league."
BEATING THE THUNDER
Facing his old team on Wednesday night, Johan played only sparingly, but still managed to contribute, racking up four rebounds and two points in just under eight minutes of play.
Denver won, 114-113.
