Detroit Pistons Player Profile: Stanley Johnson

Stanley Johnson is a 6’7″, 245 lbs ‘Stanimal.’ He is a dynamic player capable of filling small forward, shooting guard, and point guard roles for NBA teams (admittedly point guard is a big stretch). Coming out of the University of Arizona, Johnson’s style of play is energetic. He comes at opponents at 150 mph, bodies them up and takes them to the hole.

Stanley Johnson’s greatest strength, as Stan Van Gundy stated, is his mentality. Though, this mentality is also a weakness.

“The strength Stanley has is he’s got a tremendous passion for the game and tremendous desire to be great.
