Lance Stephenson
Height: 6'5
Weight: 210 lbs
College: University of Cincinnati
Position: SG
Ratings: B C+ C C+ C A
Pros: Stephenson is a great athlete. He has a terrific frame and can score both inside and out. He's not a great 3-Point shooter, but he's a terrific midrange player. He can take smaller players down low and should probably shoot very good FG%. Not a great defensive player, but he has the ability to develop into an above average one. Stephenson is also a terrific rebounder for a SG. Should average about 5rpg as a rookie.
Cons: Stephenson is really a big question mark. If he lives up to his potential he could be great, but his work ethic leaves quite a bit to be desired. Stephenson will also probably have TO problems, and will always be a bit of a tweener.
Overall: Stephenson could really go anywhere from mid lotto early twenties depending on the notes. He has the ability to be a star, but it's a big question if he'll ever live up to his potential. He could be a guy that can play 3 positions or a tweener who will just be used as a super-sub. Stephenson will probably be a good scorer, but his real value will come in his ability to play PG. IF he can develop into a true PG he could be a triple double threat. He will need to work on his handles to ever get to that point.
