The Detroit Pistons selected Stanley Johnson eighth overall in the 2015 NBA draft. They passed up on Devin Booker, who went 13th. Many fans, especially after Booker’s last breakout season, are beginning to question selecting Johnson.
Johnson’s first season was a success, averaging 8.1 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. He played in 73 games, connecting on 41 percent of his two point attempts. But, things went downhill in his second season.
His numbers went down to 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. That type of regression does not look good for any young prospect, but at only 21 years of age, Stanley Johnson has plenty of time to turn things around.
