The Los Angeles Lakers small-ball big man Stanley Johnson gave his opinion on the season:
“In my personal career, I’m blessed for the opportunity … but it’s a weird feeling today because I didn’t expect to not be playing right now. We got what we deserved … now we have to change that. I have to change it.”
Johnson said he’s learned a lot through making mistakes in the NBA and takes pride in putting the work in during the offseason to keep growing. He cited shooting, as well as becoming a better “intangible player” on both sides of the ball.
This season, Stanley Johnson averaged 6.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
