NBA: 7 Former star veterans who are currently effective bench players

#6 Joe Johnson

Joe Johnson (L)

Iso Joe is one of the most underrated players in the league's history. The shooting guard/small forward is into his 17th season in the league and is still one of the best clutch performers plying their trade in the NBA.

Halfway through his rookie campaign, Joe was traded to the Phoenix Suns. In his final season with the Arizona based franchise, Johnson led the league in 3-point percentage with a 47.8% conversion rate on 4.5 attempts from downtown.

While his contract with Atlanta (and Brooklyn after being traded) has been maligned as one of the worst front office decisions of the summer of 2010, Joe continued to be an efficient scorer and clutch player into his mid-30s.

His signing with Utah in 2016 deepened their bench and led them to their best regular season finish since the Deron Williams era. Despite playing with a heavily depleted squad, Joe Johnson is currently shouldering his bench role with obvious relish, getting crucial buckets for a Jazz team starved of offensive talent.
