Stanley is a 6 ft 6 in guard from Los Angeles, California. In his one season at Duke he started all 29 games and averaged 12.6 points per game.
Stanley’s athleticism impressed the Pacers enough for them to take him late in the 2nd round, their only pick of the night.
"To say he plays above the rim is an understatement." 😳@Cassius_Stanley is ready to take flight 🛫
