Pistons’ Johnson seeks growth in Year 2: During his rookie season, everything seemed to be moving at light speed for Stanley Johnson. After he was drafted eighth overall, Johnson played a significant role for the Detroit Pistons, primarily as the first man off the bench. But he wasn’t done. After initially planning to relax most of the offseason — aside from some individual work on some of his weaknesses — Johnson had a full load. He spent most of the summer at home, playing pickup games in the Drew League in Los Angeles, anchoring the Pistons Summer League team, and participating with the Select Team for USA Basketball, which helped prepare the national team for the Olympics. -- The Detroit News
