He is definitely NBA talent, but probably not going to be in the league. If he got to Miami or San Antonio or Golden State where they can develop him, he could be a Wiggins type player two years from now. But I don't see how that happens. He just needs a good shooting coach and a coach and teammates that insists he shoot when he is open. You hear Warriors young guys and role players saying that everyone would be mad at them for not shooting, that is what he needs.
Very good up to date video. But I gotta say it again that theme music you have playing in the background while the video is playing so cold bruh, sheesh. Super chill vibe beat...did you produce that beat, where did you find that instrumental man👀?
I hope your wrong on the outcome but you are dead on with your analysis of his earlier situation with him unable to flourish in Detroit and probably hitting the ceiling already but we'll see.
When Stanley's mom passed away shortly before his NBA career started he never regained the confidence he had but he did great as a role player for Toronto last year
As a Lakers fan I would really like to keep him. The standard for defensive effort on our team is so low we need what he brings energy wise in that area. We have plenty of gifted offensive players. Malik Monk is starting to percolate on offense. We need a strong wing like him focused on at least making SGs and SFs work for it.
Stanley was always a ELITE DEFENDER the tape is out there going against LBJ as a rookie holding down Kawhi & just last year holding Luka to only 11 he's been a DEFENSIVE BEAST
I agree im a lifelong Pistons/Lakers fan & Booker is from MI & was begging to come home & that's were I think Stanley never got the fair shoot in DETROIT he wasn't Booker but had proven he was a elite defender for a team lacking scores
Lol book was a 6th man on Kentucky he wasn't even a starter and went 13th nobody could predict he would be that good u think Celtics fans aren't pissed they took Kelly olynyk over Giannis lol
@@TheOfficialStealz the Pistons took KCP over Giannis I think everybody that took someone else out that draft be he was drafted took someone else over Giannis🤣🤣🤣
I think every case is different but I believe the NBA gives up on young players to early. Dude is 25 and already talking about a 2nd shot.. NBA isn’t a development league and if you don’t have it when they want you(before 23 years old) then they are done with you. Guys are drafted so young that by the time it’s year 4 or 5 people want them at 20 PPG but they are only 22 or 23 years old at that time. Pippen didn’t get to 20 points until 26 years old. Most players don’t get that skill and athleticism mix until age 26-28 let alone what team you on. League don’t have time to wait
Facts! But the answer is money. When the NBAPA bargained for more money (max and supermax contracts) that put a tighter window on a player's development.
I think Stanley Johnson is the perfect example of people judging talent too soon. Not everyone hits the ground running whether that be because of a bad fit, not polished in a certain area, not the coaches preferred player etc etc and I think Johnson is an example of a couple of those, but working on his game and developing him slowly seems to be gradually showing the rewards. Steve Nash didn't average over 10 points in his first few seasons but now he's retired people call him one of the greatest PG's ever. Is Johnson gonna be an all-time great? Most likely no. Could he be a solid player in the NBA today? IMO yes he can. Can he revive his career and get rid of his bust label? IMO again yes. NBA teams today search high and low for good defenders and i think Stanley Johnson could easily be developed into a very solid 3&D Wing!
Big fact totally agree I’m a pistons fan n seen wha SVG did wrong and it was simply not letting him play thru the mistakes n just picked on him instead, it broke him n til this day he plays scared to make a mistake
@@NYCShaolin718 this is my second time watching this video, and I have to say you nailed it. If you watch the last game of the 2021-22 season, Stanley Johnson dribbles to the free throw line and freezes mid-air when he hears the whistle. Wenyen Gabriel has to pull Johnson on the side and explain to Stanley that you should ALWAYS shoot it when you hear the whistle. I think deep down, SJ knew that, but like you said, his confidence has been permanently affected by his clashes with Van Gundy. He may have exorcised some of those demons in Toronto, but they are still with him. 💁🏻♂️🏀
His talent is best served being on a contending team where he just needs to be a star in his role. If you don’t need him to score then his scoring shouldn’t be an issue.
I feel like what really messed him up for a long period of time was his mom's death before his rookie season. She was the one who raised him and put a basketball in his hands, and losing her really messed him up, he even talked about it in one of his Ballislife documentaries
Van Gundy was/is such an overrated coach, and great point on his style; good on an established veteran team but bad for a team with young players that need development. Success is so often based on being drafted by the right organization with a proper coach. I always thought S. Johnson's best comp. was Ron Artest; a strong 6'-6" to 6'7" SF defensive minded player that eventually would develop better perimeter skills. Artest probably wasn't as athletic as Johnson, but more skilled as a ball-handler and shooter.
Hate to be that guy but I never saw Stanley Johnson like that. He has pro level athleticism/size and hes a soild defender. But, his offense game has always been stiff and stagnant. He would have been great in the early 2000s.
He did what he suppose to do. His mother past away and I know it got to'em mentally. Just cause they are basketball players with tons of money, doesn't mean they don't go through things in life. They're human beings just like us. Have empathy
At this point after seeing so many potential players become bust or didn't live with up to their potential I'm starting to wonder if money play a factor into this, Like do some players lose the desire to want to get better once they get the money & made it to the NBA
That's definitely a factor, but people also need to consider the huge jump up in talent and competitiveness of the NBA. It's truly impossible to forecast which players will be able to make that adjustment and which ones simply can't cut it talent and skill-wise on that level despite their best efforts.
Their are definitely a lot of guys who are just in it for the check and hey their not anything necessarily wrong with that if that’s their mentality that’s their mentality but I definitely feel their are guys who say imma go ham do my one year go pro and live the NBA ballers lifestyle
As Charles Barkley said it "Not everyone wants to be great, just because you think guys make it to the nba, dont mean they all want to be great players. Some are just okay with getting paid this and go on with their lives" This is when Barkley and Shaq were discussing aboug Ben Simmons. I think Simmons is a perfect example of this
AGREED he is a super 🤡 what was crazy is he picked Johnson over hometown kid Devin Booker & Stan Van Gundy always fussed about guys playing the right way & going all out defensively & Johnson did that for that🤡 the video is out there the kid always played hard but would get benched for the simplest of things
I remember meeting him summer 2k15 downtown Orlando. He was there for a workout if I'm not mistaken but he was cool, riding on his hover board & told us "It's not that expensive, it's only like $1200" lol
@Terrell King even if the Lakers keep him around, which they might as well given the pile of NBA rubble on their bench, are they going to develop his shot and skills? Heck no, so then he will just get older and not better. Okay for the Lakers but not good for Johnson.
@@controversialmann5345 yea plus as the older people get on the lakers they could push him into a bigger role i’m looking too far ahead but still could happen
His Skill set never caught up to his athleticism..he was all bully ball. Then you go to the Kings of the East, the pistons. He is an undersized 4 man. He should look at PJ Tucker and use him as a template. Glad to see him getting a shot, but the fact that the Lakers are playing him late in the 4th qtr tells us all we need to know about the lakers roster, that him and Collison were getting 4th qtr minutes within their 1st 2 games. SN do some research on his High school, the number of guys who go D1 and even high is a lot, but they also transfer or flame out a lot..
NBA fault, he didn't impress me much at Zona, similar to Derrick...but they both just had elite size for college game. I remember them hyping him up to be able to shut down LeBron...terrible pick in long line of terrible picks for Pistons (sounded like a Roc Marci bar almost)
Stanley shows signs of CPTSD. He would benefit from some time away from basketball with a sports psychology coach to help him rewire his mind. His lack of confidence comes from how he thinks when he makes a mistake. It's a fear of failure. Given time, he is so young, he could make a lot of people eat their words. I liked him on the Raptors, I hope he carves out a career for himself.
Yeah, always has been his weakness. His defense has always been legit, but I've watched him since his rookie season and his offense/dribble still looks like that of a raw 19-20 year old. Still glad the lakers picked him up
His problem is the same problem with a lot of them wings, a consistent 3 pt shot. If Stanley Johnson could shoot corner 3s consistently the guy would still be in the league.
If Stanley Johnson isn't signed for the remainder of the season by the Los Angeles Lakers, he will get another 10-day contract from a team with a hardship exemption to give. NBA teams are desperate during this CoViD outbreak, and Johnson is definitely better than some of the other G-League scrubs that have been signed under the hardship rule. Even if Johnson isn't ideal, L.A. has already agreed to trade Rajon Rondo to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Denzel Valentine. There is no doubt they will waive Valentine, as the deadline to waive him is really close. This waiver will open up a roster spot for the Lakers to sign Stanley. Regardless of Johnson's shortcomings, the team is winning games while giving him minutes. Coach Frank Vogel all but showed the Lakers hand by starting Johnson the past two games. Stanley projects as a bench player once Anthony Davis returns or Ariza ramps up to peak form after his stint in CoViD protocols. But the Lakers need immediate help now, and even get some salary cap relief by sliding SJ into Rondo's spot. 💁🏻♂️🏀
The footwork at 1:46 shows me exactly why he didn’t become a star 😂. His footwork in general in all his drills looks like he got heavy feet & cant beat his defenders
That’s what makes the NBA the best league. Your weaknesses get exposed a that level. They are the 0.000000001 of the best and that’s what makes having any type of NBA career so great. Stanley is strong and physical but he’s not Tall enough for that to be enough. He’s not super skilled enough like Luka to get away with being a little slow footed. And in reality isn’t slow footed he would kill 99.9999 percent of average hoopers but at that level a little slow of foot not having a consistent shot or height is what you get with Stanley. If he was a little faster and shoot better he would be a solid starter. The NBA is vicious as far as talent is concerned.
Look this kid is still amazing. Teams keep sleeping on him. I would take him pay him minimum for the rest of the season. And give Russell westBrick the boot ..
People want these kids to have right to go the league regardless of their age but don’t want to be patient enough to let them mature and develop. Not everyone can come in and dominate from day one. And one year in college for the majority of them isn’t enough time to gage their potential and ceiling. Guys like AD KD and Kyrie are the exception not the rule. Maybe the new NIL rule will convince more guys to stick around and develop for a bit before going to the league now they can capitalize financially while they’re still in college.
Stanley still possibly, or did arguably have the most successful prep Career in CA HS bball state history winning 4 state championships I believe at mater dei and can’t no one take that from him.
He’s got it in him it’s his confidence offensivly . For sure Stan van gundy did smth to him. He can still break out if he gets out of his own head. Stop downin him we see what he can do offensively it’s clearly his confidence
As a pistons fan I’m beyond ecstatic that a team is appreciative of what he does. He is a defensive specialist that’s his strong suit he is disruptive n high energy on offense he is a 4th grader n that’s fine I just want him to stay in the league
You mean like Darko over Melo, Carlos Delfino over Josh Howard (same draft as Melo🤣)Rodney White over Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, Gerald Wallace,Gilbert Arenas, Luke Kennard over Donavan Mitchell, KCP over Giannis & these are just the ones I remember being mad about on draft night
We said that a lot about Marcus smart for the past couple years (granted he’s had a better career then Stanley) maybe Stanley Johnson could be that next type of player with the comeback opportunity and he’s a wildcats so I got to root for him
I wish he could shoot at least 34% from 3. But he actually has an opportunity with the Lakers. This Laker squad is full of old guys, guys that can supposedly shoot and guards for days. Having a guy like SJ that is a big athlete with a high motor and can play some D is a welcome addition imo. The Lakers also are uniquely positioned in having a coach that lives Defense while having very few players that focus on that. I think he signs ROS with the team after 1 or 2 more 10 day contracts.
He's the lock down defender that the Lakers needed. Avery Bradley, Reeves, Ariza can't do it all. He was s a perfect fit, with SJ, the Lakers have everyone they need. Start building the team chemistry.
He still a bust for sure playing through the d-leauge.but that boy can play some defense. He has a rare body of being big and strong as hell while still having some quickness. He def need to focus on his defense the most , I think that'll make him a player somebody will always need
Y'all need to chill d fact Stsnley didn't just develop is not on d pistons. Devin Booker had 5 coaches in 5 years multiple Gms, and horrible front office. Hornacek didn't play him much either in year 1 but he worked on himself and showed out whenever he was given the opportunity
I always saw him as a poor man’s Joe Johnson. Built, strong and a tall guard. But Joe had handles and a jumper. Stan is whatever’s underneath the poor man’s version. His Jumpshot always was Broken. The release point is too low and his body seems twisted on the wind up to shoot. As if his feet are stuck in something and he’s trying to get free to get the shot off.
@@rootsma5746 I dunno joe Johnson’s was definitely cold wit the rock but for my money give me penny hardaway as a ball handler over anybody else 6’6 and taller
Thank goodness for Stanley. It’s obvious AD and Westbrook have been loafing on D. AD relies on his size Westbrook is always late to cover or help. Stanley guards 2 players from key to post and he defends the area. 🙏🏽
I never really seen Stanley as the next big thing I see him like a Ben Simmons dominated his amateur years cause he was bigger and more athletic than everybody else
What Happens To Stanley After the Exemption finishes? Is he NBA Talent?
He is definitely NBA talent, but probably not going to be in the league. If he got to Miami or San Antonio or Golden State where they can develop him, he could be a Wiggins type player two years from now. But I don't see how that happens. He just needs a good shooting coach and a coach and teammates that insists he shoot when he is open.

He messed up his jumpsuit doin the two finger drill. He needs to keep his hands spread wide on the ball.

When Stanley's mom passed away shortly before his NBA career started he never regained the confidence he had but he did great as a role player for Toronto last year

I wish he could shoot at least 34% from 3. But he actually has an opportunity with the Lakers. This Laker squad is full of old guys, guys that can supposedly shoot and guards for days. Having a guy like SJ that is a big athlete with a high motor and can play some D is a welcome addition imo. The Lakers also are uniquely positioned in having a coach that lives Defense while having very few players that focus on that. I think he signs ROS with the team after 1 or 2 more 10 day contracts.
He's the lock down defender that the Lakers needed. Avery Bradley, Reeves, Ariza can't do it all. He was s a perfect fit, with SJ, the Lakers have everyone they need. Start building the team chemistry.
He still a bust for sure playing through the d-leauge.but that boy can play some defense. He has a rare body of being big and strong as hell while still having some quickness. He def need to focus on his defense the most , I think that'll make him a player somebody will always need
Hes been great for the Lakers so far givin us defensive toughness.
Y'all need to chill d fact Stsnley didn't just develop is not on d pistons. Devin Booker had 5 coaches in 5 years multiple Gms, and horrible front office. Hornacek didn't play him much either in year 1 but he worked on himself and showed out whenever he was given the opportunity
He lost hope when his mom died, he only cared about doing the bare minimum after that. As long as he was getting paid he had no heart for the game
Stanley just needs to be somewhere where his game can standout: G league or over, over sea's! He's 🗑
U tripping
If he can hit 30% from 3 and stick with his physical gifts and defensive know how it's really all the Lakers need him to do.
Wrong coach in Detroit stunted his growth. Stan Van Gundy.......enough said. Pistons fans saw it first hand!!!!
He looked LOST in Detroit and it seemed his talent was being wasted.
Man needed to be on a heat team or spurs thing
can you do romeo langford?
He played for Detroit, enough said
Coach Stan Van Gundy is a terrible coach.
I mean he was out for a reason so something wasn’t good about him
I always saw him as a poor man’s Joe Johnson. Built, strong and a tall guard. But Joe had handles and a jumper. Stan is whatever’s underneath the poor man’s version. His Jumpshot always was Broken. The release point is too low and his body seems twisted on the wind up to shoot. As if his feet are stuck in something and he’s trying to get free to get the shot off.
I would say poor man's Ron Artest for sure Joe Johnson was like a 6'7 245 non athletic LeBron he was nice
I always tell everyone one....for players over 6'6", Joe Johnson has the best handles.
@@rootsma5746 I dunno joe Johnson’s was definitely cold wit the rock but for my money give me penny hardaway as a ball handler over anybody else 6’6 and taller
@@johndavis9321 Yeah...you probably right on Penney
@@rootsma5746 idkk bro pg13 n Jayson Tatum
You should do a video on Dennis Smith Jr.
Thank goodness for Stanley. It’s obvious AD and Westbrook have been loafing on D. AD relies on his size Westbrook is always late to cover or help. Stanley guards 2 players from key to post and he defends the area. 🙏🏽
Never thought he'd be that good,don't know how he's stunted really
He was really never a 2 guard ..
What a bust is that you didn’t pan out or succeed. He didn’t so he’s a bust.
Russell Westbrook next please
I like him give him some time
I never really seen Stanley as the next big thing I see him like a Ben Simmons dominated his amateur years cause he was bigger and more athletic than everybody else
He great defensively wish he would’ve developed a jump shot he be alright for 10 years even if he turns out as a role player
Lakers gone keep him
Maybe on NBA Live 95' , Stanley would be a 63 overall. Nowadays he like a 2
I think the Lakers figure out a way to keep him.
I think it’s safe to say Stanley shouldn’t have been a lottery pick.
I think he would be best playing for Miami
says the guy that's not in the NBA 😂😂😂😂
I never liked the van gundy’s and I thought this kid was gonna be a star
Clamps! 🗜
Well the lakers got a gem cause his defense is a1 he get in a groove it’s up
This didn’t age well
Dude played great on every team, the League Is just white washed smfh
All bout opportunities
Na dude Stanley a stud Lakers nation
to the spurs !!!!
🖐️ pistons fan here he's a BUST.
SC30
I would actually like to see an SG video about Dwight Howard.
He's a top 75 all-time player.
He's still a bust let's be honest here
Huge
He’s still a bust
