I hadn't seen the article until today but I guess 2 days ago Pascoe did a piece on a possible reason Stanley hasn't declared. Basically says NBA people are saying Stanley's stock fell, he was top 5 out of HS, Top 5 early in the year, but now might be very close to falling out of the top 10(DE has him 9th). Stanley apparently wants a guarantee he's top 10 or he might stay at UA because he thinks the lost money from 5 to out of the top 10 is too much and going back will move him back into the top 5 next year.
And no I'm not blaming Miller here I think it's classic be careful what you wish for. Johnson said repeatedly he wants to play the 2 in the NBA and that he wanted to play in a system that let him show his guard skills. Beginning of the year he's the starting 3, York at the 2 and everyone is wondering why Miller isn't starting Rondae. they finally make the switch, York thrives as the 6th man, Rondae does well at the 3 as a lockdown defender, and Stanley gets what he wants, starting at the 2.
Problem is, he played the 2 just well enough to prove to scouts he's a better 3 than a 2 right now and that hurt his draft stock.
It is weird, I keep hearing Winslows stock is skyrocketing because he showed he can make 3's and take people off the dribble in addition to guarding and rebounding. I love the kid, but he did all this playing the 4 not the 2 or the 3. He was taking college 4's off the bounce, and hitting open 3's because college 4's back off guys like him.
I think he's better off the bounce and a better passer than Stanley but it is ironic his stock rose as a NBA 2 while Johnson's fell because he actually played guard.
