Re: Stanley Johnson

Just my opinion but our offensive philosophy doesn't lend itself well to producing high scoring players - which I feel is around 18+ a game. I think it's more important that your starting five is averaging from 8 to 15 points a game. It means you don't have to rely on any one scorer, whch is valuabl...
