Stanley Johnson opened the Jordan Brand Classic by making five of his first six shots and ended his night with 24 points on 10-of-18 shooting - including 3 of 5 from the 3-point line.
You're never going to see much, if any, defense in these type of All-American all-star games so that part of his game never really came through. But he scored in a variety of ways and had his jumper working. His natural skills on the perimeter are certainly going to be needed on next year's Arizona team.
He's going to have the versatility to play three positions, if Sean Miller wants him to, but he's a much more natural wing than Aaron Gordon was at this stage.
