Hope he gets more professional mentally. This guy could start for any NBA team, IMO.

Dude can be a beast. Still kind of iffy on the decision-making, but he's our best iso player, and I think I prefer him at the 2.

He plays like a pro. I've never been this high on Stephenson until i saw almost all Stephenson vids on youtube (including that with Candy Deepthroat..lol). But this guy.. pair him with Paul George on the 3.. Can be a monster tag team. I am really just praying he'll get more responsible off the court or else, he'd be another big waste of talent.

I'd like to see Stephenson mature on and off the court.

He could be the ideal starting PG with Hill at SG.

George then either becomes a back up wing playing 30+ mpg or we can trade Granger and move George in as staring SF.

at this point Vogel is only using him against man to man defenses and pulling him if the opponent goes zone. that says something about Lance's outside shooting. long term this doesn't bother me at all as tons of pro players have learned to shoot better as pros because their athletic ability let them dominate in other ways in college and high school. I really liked what Lance did against Atlanta but I'm far from ready to trade away other players to make PT for him. I'd think a reasonable goal would be for him to be ready to take Dahntay's minutes after his contract expires.

As an outsider, why does he get so few minutes?

What exactly are these "attitude problems?"

He seems way too talented to be relegated as a 10 mpg player regardless of some attitude issues.

The attitude problems seem to have subsided. Right now it's an on-the-court maturity thing. His attack and distribute modes are clearly separate, and require effort to maintain them together. I think if he gets more minutes, it'll be nice for the team in the short run, but he's more easily figured out than the team balance we have now. Basically an immensely talented streetballer who needs to convert to the NBA, he is not as ready, in my opinion, as his nickname suggests, but I am optimistic.
