Stanley Johnson's rebirth – Johnson won't play in Summer League games, but he'll get more than a handful of practices under associate coach Bob Beyer to prove he's the alpha dog of those assembled. As a third-year player – and an expected rotation anchor – it's important Johnson establish that much in Beyer's work-intensive practices.
Johnson started and finished last season unimpressively given the flashes of brilliance he displayed as a 19-year-old rookie who was Van Gundy's sixth man on a playoff team. He played well in the middle of the season after shedding bulk and learning at what weight he's most effective for his NBA niche, but shot efficiency was a season-long struggle after a summer spent reworking his mechanics.

Farther removed from that transition and two months into the off-season, the Pistons will be eager to gauge Johnson's confidence level and approach entering what could be a crossroads season for the former No. 8 pick.

Hard to keep confidence when you are SVG's whipping boy lol.  Early last season I even recall SVG blaming Stanley for him not knowing how to utilize Stanley because he is so versatile lol.
