Stanley Johnson has been one of the more divisive roster acquisitions of the last decade for the Detroit Pistons. Johnson, who was picked eighth overall in the 2013 draft, spent four years with the Pistons before they traded him in 2019 to the New Orleans Pelicans. Since then, Johnson has signed a deal to play with the reigning NBA-Champions, the Toronto Raptors. Though, at this moment, he hasn’t been on the court much at all.
Getting drafted before players like Devin Booker, Justise Winslow, Myles Turner, Kelly Oubre Jr, and Bobby Portis isn’t the fault of Stanley Johnson but the fault of the front office.
