Seems like we're splitting hairs. Expect both play 20+ minutes at SG & SF. Assumes Knell plays as he did 2 seasons ago.
Johnson has been very consistent in his 2 seasons in every shooting category.

His efficiency rose significantly last season because he improved his turnover rate from awful 22.1 in 2021 to a not too good 17.1 in 2022 (though his WCC turnover rate was beyond awful and worst on the team at 25.1). Due to his high turnover rate in 2022 WCC games, his conference efficiency was much lower than in OOC games.

In any case, Johnson's #1 job is to cut turnovers consistently, especially live ball turnovers.

Knell's road back to excellence is much simpler.

His efficiency plunged from #2 in WCC at 131.5 in 2021 to next to last at 88.1 in 2022. Has anyone ever fallen that far? Also in WCC play, his turnover rate fell off a cliff from #2 best in conference at 9.9 to very poor 18.0. Knell led the WCC in arc shooting at 50% in 2021 and dropped off to #21 at 36.4

Trevin, the team doesn't need you to drive to the paint, it does need you to replicate what you did two seasons ago, i.e be one of the Nation's best at converting 3s and play clean. It's not a bad thing to be known as one of the greatest ever arc shooters who seldom turns the ball over.
