ORLANDO – If day one of Stanley Johnson was very good, day two was borderline great.
As a 21-year-old coming off his rookie season, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope carried himself in 2014 Summer League as if he was the best player on the court and then backed it up by playing that way.
As a (barely) 19-year-old, Stanley Johnson struck the same pose and stood out as much above the crowd on Sunday as his future running mate on the wings of Stan Van Gundy’s offense did a year ago.
Johnson led all players in scoring with 24 points, in rebounding with nine and in steals with three in a 77-69 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
