AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Stanley Johnson had already brought attention to himself when — after being selected by the Detroit Pistons with the eighth pick Thursday — he declared himself to be the best player in the draft.
Then there was his introductory news conference at the Palace on Saturday, when he showed up wearing a gaudy pink suit.
Johnson said he was expecting his suit to be more of a purple shade — he had gone to a new designer who had about 24 hours to come up with something.
After explaining his fashion choice, Johnson eventually had a chance to talk about what he can bring to this Detroit roster. He says he likes to smile and have fun, but he's also competitive.
