In the lane
RIVALRY RENEWED: Granted that it’s only summer league, but Monday’s game between the Heat and Detroit Pistons in Orlando will be intriguing after the Pistons elected to select Arizona small forward Stanley Johnson No. 8 in the NBA draft ahead of Justise Winslow, who went No. 10 to the Heat. “Me and Justise, we’ve played basketball together since we were in sixth grade,” Johnson told reporters upon his introduction with the Pistons. “We’ve been communicating from that point on. It’s nothing new to us. People have been comparing us and not comparing us, saying who’s better and who’s worse.” As for those judgments, Johnson said. “It’s basketball. It’s going to happen through my whole career, through his whole career.” BUT NOT THIS ONE: Alas, the Heat’s five-game schedule in Orlando will not include a game against Charlotte unless the teams meet during Friday’s championship round. No sooner did the Hornets opt to select Wisconsin big man Frank Kaminsky then there were immediate questions in Charlotte about bypassing Winslow. It is a debate that Hornets General Manager Rich Cho has elected to leave to others. “I don’t want to really talk about Justise,” Cho told the Charlotte Observer after the draft. “We drafted Frank. Justise is a very good player. We thought Frank was the best available player. That’s why we drafted him.” SUMMER FACES, PLACES: With summer leagues in Orlando, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas this month, there are several familiar faces in summer places.
