One of this season's biggest questions:

Will Lance Stephenson be like Jamal Mashburn, playing outside-in offense at a high level, hitting threes, leading breaks, and maturing into an important player?

Or will he be like Latrell Sprewell, preternaturally talented, but incapable of keeping his emotions in check?

I'm hoping for option #1.

Taking age as a factor I think its safe to say we have a top 3 backcourt. Easily the most entertaining and its not even close. The only other backcourts I can think of that rival us would be Washington and Golden State.

Honestly, from a talent standpoint, Golden State (splash bros), OKC (Westbrook and whoever plays 2 for them- does it matter?), Phoenix (Bledsoe and Dragic), Toronto (Lowry and Derozan), and maybe New Orleans (Holiday, Tyreke, Gordon), and Washington (Wall and Beal) all have nearly as enticing backcourts as us if not more so. Very few are going to be as exciting though. Kemba and Lance are going to be a blast to watch and I really can't wait for the season to start. This is our year to take the league by storm.

Well stated. Were arguable a top 6 or so back court. Not top 3 in my opinion. Probably not top 5.

You are seriously underrating Stephenson, not to mention him and kemba are 23 and 24 they are only going to get better. There is not 3 backcourts in the league that will be better than ours this year and I would be willing to put big money on that.
