OT: Anybody remember Jarrett Stephens from Penn State?

Remember that guy? He was in the Big 10 first team, with Michael Redd.

Anyway, he just signed for my team.

I never saw him play, I think. Can anyone inform me of how he did in College...how he played and stuff?

In a way, he reminds me of Sacramento forward Kenny Thomas. Both are undersized PFs but both are pretty good rebounders, offensively skilled with a bit of range but caught between two positions at the NBA level.

He has had knee injuries in the past (both knees too if I am not mistaken) so I am not quite sure how much that sapped his athleticism. If he sticks with you guys, he'll likely put up a ton of points for you and be pretty decent on the boards.

He was an absolute beast at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament prior to his draft year. I really thought he was going to catch on with some NBA team but other than a summer league stint or two, he hasn't had a shot.
