Stanley Johnson is the latest unheralded player to bring value to the Toronto Raptors, adding another success story to one of the league’s best developmental organizations.
By their very nature, under-the-radar, low-cost additions whose star has faded and stock has fallen are unlikely to achieve much. Most such acquisitions fall by the wayside with little fanfare, given the relatively minimal investment placed upon them.
Even by those standards, though, Stanley Johnson’s rise into a key rotation player for the Toronto Raptors and standout wing defender registers as a considerable surprise.
