10. player. 110. With the Miami Heat’s starting forward, Luol Deng aging quickly and his production decreasing, it might be time for Miami to think about snagging a forward who could replace him. Stanley Johnson might be that guy.
<p>Johnson was outstanding for Arizona this past year on both ends of the court. He did struggle against the likes of Sam Dekker, but that is hardly indicative of how he will fair in the NBA. Johnson can score, rebound, and play defense as well as anybody in this draft, which make him an excellent candidate for a starting forward position with the Heat in the future.</p>
<p>Besides, giving a rookie a year or two to develop as a bench player typically fairs better than throwing them straight into a high pressure, starting role. Johnson would play behind Deng to start out, giving him a chance to work on the parts of his game that need improvement while still getting valuable minutes on a potential playoff team. With the return of Chris Bosh next year and the rest of the Heat likely returning in 2015-16, the Heat could be a solid team if they add Stanley Johnson. </p>. SF. Arizona. Stanley Johnson
