Stanley plays for Harvard Westlake High School in North Hollywood and he’s already considered one of the class of 2019’s best players. He competed on Nike’s top EYBL circuit after his freshman year, playing next to the country’s No. 1 recruit DeAndre Ayton for Cal Supreme. Right now ESPN has him ranked No. 9 overall in his class.
