As expected, Stanley Johnson became the first Arizona player drafted in the 2015 NBA draft, going eighth to the Detroit Pistons. Below, we look at what Stanley brings to the table and how he fits with Detroit.
What does Stanley bring to the table?
As we discussed in our draft profile, Stanley Johnson is a bull of a small forward. He's 240 pounds, dwarfing just about every other small forward prospect. He can shoot at a decent clip, making 37% of his three-pointers in college. And he is a very good (and versatile) defender who can guard twos, threes, and small-ball fours.
