Lamar Stevens: Junkyard Dog

[jjvors]

Lamar got the Junk Yard Dog last night:

I think Bol Bol needs more playing time to build up his form. The time will come and he will prove himself. He has potential. At the moment, he can play on a badder team as well.

Hey everyone!

Welcome to RCF!

Ah, the Lamar lovers are back. Forgetting his 25 minutes of zero's.

Amazing what happens when you look at a trend instead of a single instance to draw conclusions isnt it?

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

When teams double Mitchell the result is Lamar gets easy scoring opportunities, or Okoro if he's in, because that's who the opponent leaves unguarded to double Donovan. Stevens ends up standing by himself in the corner. If the pass goes to him he has an uncontested corner 3 - the best shot in basketball other than a dunk. If the pass goes to a big at the elbow, Stevens cuts to the rim and gets a pass for a dunk or layup.

Yeah I heard it was favor to the agent. Hope that favor comes back when we need it

Yet a couple weeks after declining to extend the qualifying offer the Cavs sent a rep to Vegas to watch a private workout Hartenstein put on. According to Fedor, they were open to resigning Hartenstein, but prioritized signing a wing instead. With no offers anywhere, Hartenstein signed an NBA minimum training camp deal with the Clippers, who had less available playing time than we did. They had their starting center in Zubac and a backup in Ibaka, and George, Batum, Morris and Covington at power forward. All we had here at the start of the year at center and PF was Allen, Mobley and Love who was coming off the Olympic embarrassment and many thought done. He clearly didn't sign with LA over us for playing time.
I could accept that they didn't want to spend money on a 3rd string center, but then they went out and gave Ed Davis a million more than Hartenstein signed for.

I have not seen many Lamar lovers. What I have seen is the realization by most that he's by far the best option we have right now. I'll take an awkward ugly game type player who gives you something as opposed to someone who looks great while posting nothing.

Looks way more useful than Okoro, even though I haven't lost all hope on Isaac.

I searched for Steven's measurements & was pleasantly surprised. He's a legit 6'7" with an 8'5" standing reach. Jae Crowder has an 8'3" standing reach.

Stevens could legit be our best option at the 3 moving forward. I like what he brings & seems to be a hard worker.

I believe he had a ridiculous vertical as well.

His scouting report is interesting. It says his jump shot was not consistent and he struggled finishing. Not anymore. He has a nice mid range game and he is a decent finisher now. He has worked hard since then.

Shine has worn off for me.

He’s extremely overrated defensively. Guys go by him at will on the perimeter. He’s still way too afraid to shoot and has seemingly stopped moving off the ball.

I’d start Osman and play him on a short leash.

 

[Futuredome]

We love him.....we hate him.......we love him

 

[HammerGold]

This guy can't play. Garbage

How the hell do you have a show?

I swear the cosmos will do whatever is necessary for Okoro to play
