Lamar Stevens: Junkyard Dog

I thought it was a bit obscure of a reference on the joke. Some of you guys just dont disappoint on catching my humor.

Not sure you should be proud or embarrassed........probably a little of both.

Bernie Casey probably shot his agent after that flick was completed. Either that or branded three lambdas on his ass.

Stevens is filling Okoro’s offensive blackhole role very nicely.

Stevens has been much more blackholier

Bully.

 

[Douglar]

Dang! Can he do this again?

Obviously they didn’t poison Lamar Stevens’

I think 48’mins of okoro and Lamar is pretty solid

If he could be a consistent 10 ppg like Cedi, that would be big. Tonight is what this starting lineup would look like with a SG that can get their own shot and play hard on defense. In those games Okoro did, we blew teams out.

 

[Cavatt]

Not as big, but he reminds me a little of Thad Young.

Solid game. I know everyone is a star player in college, but he was a 2 way star and leader. The defense is already there and he hasn't even played a lot of NBA min yet

What I like about Lamar Stevens is the confidence….

There’s not been a night I’ve seen him play where I’ve questioned his effort; he brings it every night…. Usually he’s there’s consistently on the defensive end… If we can get something out of him offensively that’s quite the bonus…

Maybe I'm recalling the story wrong but I think it was Stevens who initiated the whole "Dawg pound" mentality in preseason with the barking and everything. It may be a small thing but the team does seem tougher, more resilient and more together this year(and obviously more talented especially with how much Mobley glues together)

I think it's easier to maintain that identity when the guy who took the lead on it being a thing is actually able to make some steady contributions instead of just being an emergency guy or a bench cheerleader.

Definitely a bit of armchair psych'ing this and giving it more credit than it probably deserves but still think its cool.

I’ve made this comp before and I think others have too… but he reminds me a lot of another late bloomer defensive minded bulldog.

That would be PJ Tucker.

Stevens is an NBA player. That much is clear.

And when you do get something offensively out of Lamar, it's almost always efficient. He doesn't make moves or take shots he shouldn't. Just rolls with what he's given and attacks when he sees weakness. Can't ask for much more from him.

How about Royce O'Neal for a comp? Royce shoots better but otherwise they seem pretty similar. Lamar is a better passer
