Who is on 'The Stephiens" these days? The main page only lists Mike Gribanov
The site is a revolving door of burned out amateurs with mostly crap content. The good analyst and writers either find gainful employment elsewhere or get hired by NBA teams like Sean Derenthal.
The Stepiens lost all credibility with me back in 2018 when it prominently featured JZ Mazlish articles and mocks. That kid was the worst of the worst, zero redeeming quality.
At this point, it is just a platform for people to blast their own personal takes while hiding behind a battered and worn 'The Stepien" brand. Nothing better than a twitter 'scouting report' for the most part.
...lol you’re saying this from an anonymous Realgm board. Gribanov has a good eye for basketball, he just falls in love with the wrong prospects looking for Sleepers.
Yeah, but I don't write long 'scouting reports' trashing or propping up prospects. One line hot takes at most.
I am not singling out any The Stepien writer. I'm merely pointing out that some here put The Stepien up on a pedestal when it comes to 'scouting' when The Stepien is just a name that a bunch of amateurs hides behind while writing their tidied up RealGM posts.
