Chaney Johnson Fantasy Stats

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Chaney Johnson is working to turn his two-way contract into a standard NBA deal, according to Sharif Phillips-Keaton of Nets Wire. Johnson told NetsDaily's Connor Long on The Brooklyn Boys Show that he is focused on buying into whatever development plan the coaching staff has for him, and his Summer League production helped his case. The 24-year-old undrafted Auburn product averaged 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 2.5 steals across six games between the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer League while shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from three. Still, his two-way role points more toward Long Island Nets minutes than a steady NBA run, leaving him off fantasy radars unless injuries open a path.

Brooklyn Nets forward Chaney Johnson is signing his two-way qualifying offer and will return next season, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Johnson carved out a late-season role last year, averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.5 blocks on 54.3% shooting across 20.5 minutes in 17 games. He also produced 14.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game with Long Island, so Brooklyn still has reason to keep developing him. For fantasy purposes, the two-way tag caps his appeal unless injuries open minutes, but his efficiency, rebounding, and defensive activity make him a name to remember if he cracks the rotation.
