Pistons rookie Stanley Johnson: 'We don't just want the 8th seed'

Detroit Pistons rookie Stanley Johnson hasn't been shy about the team's goals this offseason. 

The Pistons haven't made the playoffs since the 2008-09 season, but Johnson says that simply sneaking into the playoffs as an 8th seed isn't what the team wants.

Here's what Johnson told Perry A. Farrell of the Detroit Free Press:

“We just don’t want to get in as the eighth-seed,” said rookie forward Stanley Johnson. “We’re trying to put our efforts forth to win a championship every year that we’re here. I think any guy that’s interested in winning would want to be here. I think we’re a team of substance instead of flash. As long as we’re doing our job every day I think our fans will come and we have to focus on basketball instead of selling tickets.”
