The Lakers and Stanley Johnson got familiar when he was still in high school.
Stanley Johnson is in Chicago for the NBA Draft combine, going through pre-lottery measurements and an assortment of interviews. The Arizona Wildcat will be a player the Los Angeles Lakers take a look at, especially at the fourth or fifth slot, but they've crossed paths plenty of times already.
Johnson was raised in Fullerton, CA. and grew up a fan of the Lakers, like many-a Southern Californian. He didn't stray far from his west coast roots, either, shooting out just a skip and a hop away to Arizona for college ball.
