Johnson is a far more efficient scorer. He finished 11th in the league in scoring, while Iguodala finished 38th. That difference is enormous--on average only one third of the teams in the league had a better scorer than JJ, while every team on average had a better scorer than Iggy.
The six scorers who finished immediately in front of Iggy were All Harrington, Lual Deng, Stephen Curry, O.J. Mayo, Andrea Bargnani and Al Jefferson (behind him are Carl Landry, Rodney Stuckey, Jet, V. Carter, Manu and Nash). You don't bother to double team scorers at the level of these players--they won't beat you by themselves.
The six scorers ahead of Joe Johnson? Dwayne Wade, Monta Ellis, Dirk, Danny Granger, Bosch and Amare (immediately behind him are D. Rose, Z-Bo, S. Jackson, David Lee, Tyreke Evans and Cory Maggette). Those are players that can kill you on their own.
Joe Johnson is in an entirely league from Iguodala as a scorer. Dirk-JJ as opposed to Dirk--Iggy is the difference between Kobe-Gasol and Kobe-Odom.
