I think Pierce can do just fine as a spot-up shooter, and he'll be willing to accept that role for large stretches of time, possibly with the ability to run the offense for a 3-4 minute stretch each half when DWill is resting. I'm not sure if Johnson is willing yet to defer as much, but I haven't watched him night after night.
