Effort pays off! The Lakers signed Stanley Johnson with two years of pay for defense and vitality to win the contract

Forward Stanley Johnson is a windfall the Lakers have found this season. Over the past three short ten-day contracts, Johnson has managed to prove his worth. His excellent performance also gave him a formal contract in the NBA.

According to Shams Charania, a well-known journalist at The Athletic, Johnson will sign a new two-year contract with the Lakers, with the 2022-23 season as the team option. His last ten-day contract expires on Wednesday local time. His great defense, energy and performances earned him all this.

Johnson helped the Lakers well on the defensive end. So far, Johnson has played 14 games for the Lakers, averaging 21.2 minutes per game, with 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists. Even in multiple games, he got a chance to start. In the game against the Jazz, Johnson could be freed against the opponent at a crucial moment, and he hit the key mid-range to help the Lakers win the game.

Johnson can help the Lakers on the inside, and despite the thick eyebrows, the Lakers are still short of people on the inside, which is a good opportunity for Johnson.
