Detroit Pistons rookie Stanley Johnson has reportedly signed with Nike Basketball, though no formal announcement has been made yet. This is another top rookie signing for Nike, who just announced the signings of the No. 1 and 2 picks in the 2015 NBA Draft, Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell.
From Nick DePaula of Nice Kicks and SLAM Magazine:
Nike Basketball has signed Pistons rookie wing Stanley Johnson to a shoe deal.

Stanley was also weighing a strong offer from adidas, but opted for Swoosh. Everyone is REAL high on him. Great kid. Relentless worker.

Johnson went to a Nike-sponsored school in Arizona and it looks like he’ll stick with the Swoosh in his pro career.
