In his first official NBA game (Summer League doesn't count), Stanley Johnson was brilliant.
It is only one preseason game. It is only one preseason game. It is only one preseason game. You can keep saying it, but it still does not make Stanley Johnson's performance in last night's Pistons vs. Pacers preseason game any less inspiring.
Leading the team in minutes with 34, Stanimal put up a pretty good stat line. He rang up 26 points on 8-for-17 shooting, connected on 3-of-6 three-point attempts, and got to the line nine times, making seven of them.
