Lance Stephenson is more than making up for his slack

[freetiago]

Hes playing after basically a 2 year break adjusting to a new role tbh..
never been an efficient scorer but he is a scorer and he can shoot
also create his own shot
anything the Pacers get from their bench is huge considering they got nothing last year

Lance Stephenson is more than making up for his slack

He doesn't play well against teams with good backcourt defense at all. 12-6-6 and 13-9-2 against the Heat so far this year. He completely laid an egg against Portland and Oklahoma City. It seems like against any sort of decent compe ion he doesn't even show up. Tell me more lies about Stephenson making up the difference.

Lets put this into perspective for a second. Who on the Pacers bench last year was a worse scorer than he is right now? Not only that but no, he can't create his own shot. That was more than 2 years ago. Granger is the best thing that ever happened to the Pacers compe ion this year.

Wade looked like a tosb in the ECF against Lance last year and then when he faced Danny Green all a sudden he looked like an all star again... Stephenson is awesome tbh.

I think his demise is wishful thinking on your part. You cannot be injured that long and automatically be in All Star form. His conditioning is gone, he shot is obviously not back yet. He will get it going and be a huge asset on the bench. Gone are the days of 20 ppg but there is no reason he can't average double digits off the bench.

last year in the playoffs they had
Augustin- a point guard who averaged less than 1 assist a game shooting 38% from the field who is also one of the worst defenders and bball iq at his position
Hansbrough- one of the worst bigs in the NBA who isnt even good enough to be in the Craptors rotation right now, shots 42% from the field for his career when he doesnt attempt any shots outside of putbacks
Young- he was their best bench player with splits of 45/25/75 and he couldnt get time because he had 0 chance of guarding Lebron

those 3 combined for a total of 9.8 points per game
Granger is a defender, higher iq and can easily outscore that by himself by just spotting up and shooting
the year before in the playoffs he put up 13/5/3 vs them
