After losing Kawhi Leonard to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Toronto Raptors have rebounded stronger than ever! They have reportedly agreed to a two-year $7.5 million deal with Stanley Johnson, a 23-year-old athletic combo-forward.
Things haven’t exactly gone according to plan for Stanley Johnson so far in his career. As the 8th overall pick of the 2015 NBA draft, Johnson had high expectations. He was big, athletic, and had a solid skill-set. The Pistons hoped they were getting the NBA’s next two-way star.
But Johnson hasn’t been that. Defensively, he’s come as advertised, consistently making an impact, particularly as an on-ball defender.
