The Toronto Raptors bench depth has been poor for the better part of the season (besides Boucher), but one player who has been impressive is Stanley Johnson.

“I just think that I’m the best player in the draft,” Stanley Johnson said shortly after being selected 8th by the Detroit Pistons in the 2015 NBA Draft. Fast forward six years, Johnson would be outshined by players like Karl Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, and Devin Booker. However, if Johnson’s recent play for the Toronto Raptors is reflective of his future, there is still a place for Johnson to be considered top ten in his draft.
