Gary McKnight, Mater Dei's coach, says Johnson's basketball IQ and attention to detail are on par with his athletic skills, and others agree. Toby Bailey, a former Loyola High and UCLA standout who does commentary on high school games, notices little things Johnson does that separate him.

"He's such physical specimen and is so skilled," Bailey said. "Usually when you get a guy that big and he can use his physical skills to bully guys, their basketball knowledge is stunted. With him, you can see his IQ is there. He'll make the right pass, he'll be seeing two or three plays ahead of his opponent. It's pretty extraordinary."

Johnson's curiosity has helped him add to his repertoire.

"I talked to Steve Nash about pick-and-roll situations," Johnson said. "As much as people say I'm good, I'll take advice from anybody. He's one of the better decision makers in the NBA. I asked him, 'How do you read it? How do you attack it?' "

Everything he learns builds on a foundation established by his mother, who was raised in Moss Point, Miss., the youngest of four siblings.

Karen Taylor was so determined that basketball was her ticket out of rural Mississippi that she asked one of her brothers to strip the spokes off a bicycle rim and nail it to a tree to be her hoop. Her basketball was flat, but she shot and dribbled it anyway.

"It was dirty with green stuff on it and I didn't care," she said. "It was a ball and I needed to do something with it."

Summary

Stanley Johnson is an 18 year Wing prospect from the Fullerton, California. Johnson weighs in at 235 lbs and measures 6’7.5″ tall with a 6’10.5″ wingspan. Johnson has elite size for an NBA shooting guard and good size for an NBA Small Forward. Johnson can handle the ball in the open court in transition as a means to make plays for himself and teammates. Stanley also is capable in pick & roll situations where he makes pocket passes. Johnson is a capable 3 point shooter from the corners and off of screens, but maybe best shooting off the dribble. At the NBA level, he should be great running off Zippers and Iverson cuts to get into slot or side pick & rolls. Johnson is good scoring off cuts and can absorb contact with his 235 pound frame; shows slashing potential which may lead to multiple trips to the FT line. Johnson makes winning plays at pivotal times in games, a clutch player. In addition, he takes care of the basketball and has a High IQ.

Prognosis

Upside and Overall Draft Value

These two standout wings had a very similar impact in college and take comparable strengths to the pro level. They're both long, athletic attackers who can play inside and out, and they have the IQ and competitiveness to thrive on both ends.

If offense is our red flag, defense is our green light. Stanley Johnson uses his size to the fullest in his off-ball defense, which is probably his biggest strength. His on-ball defense is also good, but scouts are more intrigued by the thought of using him on the opponents best wing, denying the ball as long as possible before playing suffocating on-ball D. He uses his length to close out passing lanes, displaying a great feel for the flow of the opponent's offense. "Basketball IQ" is a tough-to-quantify term, but Johnson has been drawing these reviews since high school. In fact, Johnson playing under control and not getting into bad spots is what boosts his shooting percentages.

For the Wildcats, Johnson will provide another tall, aggressive rebounding wing who can defend multiple positions. Sean Miller will also be pleased by Johnson’s high basketball IQ and unselfish brand of play.

Strengths: The first two things that jump out are his incredible football player like body and his competitiveness ... He's a standout with his on ball defense where he is able to use his huge chest to muscle any offensive threat ... But compared to Ron Artest, he looks like a much better defender off the ball, using his large wingspan to deflect passes and his big hands to snatch the ball away from opposing players ... Defensively, he's absolutely a beast, who could immediate play in the NBA creating problems for many NBA wings ... Perhaps another of his best characteristics, really rare in a 18 year old is how he plays to his strengths, never takes a bad shots, never tries to show off, instead takes what the game gives him ... He uses his big shoulders to get into the lane and finish with contact; underrated athlete off one foot, and he doesn’t have any problems finishing with both hands around the rim ... He's a very good ball handler for a player his size ... He was a four until his HS junior year. He can also help the guards bringing the ball up and has strong IQ and good decision making ... Intangibles are where he separates himself from the herd, a sharp, focused kid who understand his role and wants to win, which is what everybody looks for in the league ... Doesn’t have the length of Leonard or his offensive skills, but the right attitude will help him have a better career than more talented players ...

Many sources seem to compliment his physical presence and how much muscle he has, which he is able to use to his advantage on smaller defenders. They also mention Johnson having a high IQ and showing a lot of energy when he’s on the floor.

Johnson averaged 2.1 steals per 40 minutes at Arizona, a credit to his aggressiveness and IQ, which can be seen at the 9:00 mark. Judging a defender off of steals is not wise. Latrell Sprewell arrived in New York renowned for his thievery, yet it took months for him to stop his high-risk gambling approach and adapt to Jeff Van Gundy's more consistent philosophy on defense. But couple all the other aspects of Johnson's defense (Mike Schmitz of DraftExpress points out opponents posted Johnson up 19 times last year, yielding a mere 8 points) with the steals and you're potentially painting the portrait of an all-around stopper, someone who knows how to leverage his brain and his brawn into something greater than the sum of the two.
