Lamar Stevens: Junkyard Dog

[Cavatt]

Poor Lamar's thread is buried on the 2nd page. But that corner 3 is starting to be a thing and he's still busting his ass on defense.. still a little too thirsty for his shot at times, but all things considered..

I think v the Bucks he sees the floor a bit again.

Been playing more within himself lately. He was doing too much to start the year. Defense, drive, shoot if open. Pass to anyone if you have no advantage.

Okoro with Covid, its time for Lamar to step up and start and hopefully be 75% of what Okoro was giving us lately

or 175% of what a young Paul Pierce would be.

Paul Pierce? I just hope Lamar can give us 5% of that legend.

5% of Paul Pierce is still an all star. And that is Paul Pierce in a wheel chair after getting hit in the legs in the playoffs.

I think the league is lucky that they never say a fully healthy Paul Pierce

I can't tell if this board gets my humor or not.

He is playing very aggressively. Okoro needs to emulate Stevens here just going at smaller guys on the drive. His handle is not good enough yet I think.

Loved the way he stood up to Sabonis. Interesting watching this little PF play guard and then defend bigs.

This dude has a lot of JJ Redick in his game….

Stevens is 4+ years older than Okoro. If Okoro is still doing daddy hold my hand crap, he will be long gone from Cleveland

 

[Alec]

Stevens is a real one. Sabonis couldn’t back him down in the low post I was dying

good for Lamar, puts in the work and sees it pay off.

I think he can be a rotation guy now that his 3pt shot seems feasible. He's a smart player and I love how he will just take it to a weaker guy and bully his way to the basket.

I think he can be a legit NBA player, but not sure he is ever a true rotational guy on a contender.

Not trying to be negative, I have liked the guy and said that from day 1 he has a shot to stick for a few seasons in the NBA. Being an undrafted player, making it as a teams 10th or 11th guy on the roster is pretty damn good, and we got him for nothing.

if we can love Delly, we can love Lamar. I look at him like a penny stock that went to a $1. He isn't expensive, yet you can fill him in for a starter for a few games in a pinch. Gives great effort, great team guy. Tough in case someone tries to mess with Garland, you can count on Lamar to have his back. Nice that he is an Okoro clone and seems to push Okoro to play better since they are basically interchangeable at this point.
