One will recall the Stanley Johnson hype machine that got rolling after the Pistons drafted him a year ago. Johnson looked like one of the best players in the 2015 Orlando Summer League, where he averaged 16.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. Many respected pundits had him high on their preseason Rookie of the Year watch lists.
He appeared to be on his way to a VERY promising rookie season. But then Marcus Morris happened. Morris came out in his Pistons debut and dropped an 18 and 10.
