Draft Targets
Pick #5: Stanley Johnson, Small Forward, Arizona
With SF/PF Tobias Harris a free agent at season’s end and capable of playing power forward anyways, Johnson makes a ton of sense for Orlando here. It was a toss-up between him and Duke SF Justice Winslow, but I give Johnson the edge. At 6’7” and 245 pounds, Johnson is a mismatch nightmare for opposing teams when he slides over to shooting guard, something he is capable of doing, and also has the size to play the four. Averaging 16 points and 6.5 rebounds for one of the top teams in the country, Johnson’s combination of size, strength, and athleticism should translate to the pros nicely.
