The Detroit Pistons are targeting Stanley Johnson with the eighth overall pick assuming Mario Hezonja is off the board, according to a source.
The expectation is that Hezonja and Emmanuel Mudiay will not be available to the Pistons at No. 8 with the Sacramento Kings (6th) and Denver Nuggets (7th) drafting ahead of them.
Johnson averaged 13.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game at Arizona during his freshman season.
Look, more news that is news but also doesn’t feel that newsy!
It’s not shocking to see the Pistons linked to one of the top small forwards in the draft.
