KDThunder35ParticipantI’m a huge Stanley Johnson fan. There are similiarities between MKG and Stanley, but more-so on the mental aspect of the game rather physical skills. They are both very strong competitors who had a pedigree for winning at the High School level (MKG St. Pat’s and a national championship at UK and 4 State Championships at Mater Dei for Johnson, first ever in California history). They both take pride in their intensity level as well as their unselfish attitude towards what’s best for the team rather than the individual. Both excel on the defensive end especially.
Where those two differ is in the physical attributes of the game. MKG is basically an undersized 4 trying to play the 3 position. He actually does a pretty decent job at the 3 because he tries so hard. MKG’s skills are just far behind for a 3, his shot is a mess and his handle isn’t as tight as it should be. He may come around on that end of the game because he puts so much time and effort into honing his game, that is the type of player he is.
Where MKG faulters, Stanley shines. Stanely is an excellent ballhandler for his position (I feel like he is a 2 in the league and a 2/3 in college). He also is very good at finding the open man and making the right play given the situation he is in. His jumpshot has been rapidly improving and his shot mechanics are pretty fluid. Stanley has a definite position in the league with his current skill set, and I am positive that Stanley will keep growing as a player both physically and mentally.
I can’t wait to see what he does for Arizona next year playing next to Hollis-Jefferson.

HoopLandParticipantIf Stanley Johnson had a left hand he would be a MONSTER, but he doesnt so he’s just a top 10 player.

Chill_dude03ParticipantI’ve always been a fan of Stanley Johnson. Every since I saw him play in the Nike Global tournament. At the end of 1 of his games I shook his hand and noticed he has HUGE hands. In my opinion he’ll turn out to be the best player in this whole class. In terms of comparing him to MKG, I don’t see much similarities. MKG is not at all a perimeter player but an undersized 4 that’s comfortable around the paint. He’s solid rebounder that plays off of intensity. Stanley Johnson is much more versatile than MKG. He’s a solid defender and can defend almost all position. He can score in a variety of ways whether in the post of on the perimeter. Definitely has an extremely high IQ of the game.

giddyup123ParticipantI like his game a lot, as well..
I know comparisons often get shut down and I usually can’t stand labeling 18 year olds, especially before college, but he reminds me a lot of Lance Stephenson, more of a leader rather than a get-under-your skin type though…
-sizewise, comporable athleticism, body type, physicality, improving shooter, all-around game, defender.

ItsVictorOladipoParticipantAnd here I thought I was the only one on here who sees him as top 3 pick next year. He’s my favourite prospect out of all the incoming freshman for 2014.

AdamJCallejaParticipantWatching him play, he simply dominated the competition in California. He has an NBA ready body, a great motor and an underrated skill set being able to score consistently at all three levels. I think he’ll have a great freshman season at Arizona. A lottery pick no doubt. I think his NBA ceiling is an above average role player for a winning team. It was a joy watching him in his senior season.
