The Detroit Pistons are a mess, former lottery pick Stanley Johnson doesn’t seem to be working out, and one team looking for an upgrade on the wing is the San Antonio Spurs.
It could be a match made in heaven, according to Jabari Young of The Athletic.
An important connection — Brian Wright, an assistant GM with the Spurs, worked in Detroit when the team drafted Johnson in 2015, and he is apparently still a believer in Johnson’s talents.
It might be that he just needs a change of scenery after being a square peg attempting to fit in several round holes during his five-year career with the Pistons.
