Amir Johnson will have surgery on his ankle in about a week.
Johnson is expected to be ready for training camp, but this certainly won't help him win a starting job. Rookie Ed Davis showed flashes of elite talent at the power forward spot last season and figures to get the benefit of the doubt when the minutes are doled out. Johnson projects as more of a shot-blocking specialist off the bench next year.
