Stanley Johnson has exceed my expectations so far at the Orlando Summer League.
It’s not that I doubted his ability to affect the game in the variety of ways he’s shown, it’s that I didn’t expect him to have so much poise and score as consistently as he has.
Here’s what I wrote about Johnson before the draft:
NBA ready body and he’s a good defender. Due to his size, Johnson offers the ability to play either small forward or power forward in small doses. That kind of versatility is exactly what Stan Van Gundy is looking for.
