Lamar Stevens: Junkyard Dog

[Kouki]

You once told me that you think Lamar has the nicest D on the team. Is that still true?

Did I say that? I would probably say Okoro or Kabengele. Might have to do more research tho

If he's our 13th guy, fine. If he's in our rotation, someone should be fired.

or promoted.. if he's developed into into a solid rotation player.

That scenario seems unlikely to me

If you need to see Koby, know it's Friday so he's at the Sunoco placing his $1 bet on Lamar Stevens/Dylan Windler/Brodric Thomas pick3 ticket.

DUDE IS LITERAL TRASH

I'd rather see what Billy Preston is up to or even Earl Clark.

Weaker sauce.

Some games when you miss a few early looks (especially if they're easy ones), you're going to press after that and try to make up for it. It compounded into more miscues.

That's not all on Stevens.

Coach gave him more chances to right the ship but that moment never clicked.
He played okay defense for the most part, but got burned a few times in part because of the pressing.

Sucks for Lamar, man. JB should've went elsewhere early on after seeing him press.

He saw time over Windler/Cedi because he played really good defense against the Clips, but an adjustment gotta be made when you see this kinda thing.

I’ll take Luol Deng’s corpse over him.

 

[Heat Check]

Cedi needs to play over Stevens. Lamar is a total non-factor offensively and we simply can't have more of those guys out there than is absolutely necessary.

 

[BigZ94]

I think Bickerstaff has been doing a reasonably good job this year, but what on earth is his obsession with this dude all about

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

This bum lost us the game and JBB with his infatuation with said bum. Can't shoot and was too small to defend LBJ either way. Good job.

 

[Kepler]

this thread should be closed.

 

[weepinwillow]

didn't have a big issue w/Lamar getting minutes. I get rewarding a guy for his work, and showing him some trust. It's too bad for Stevens because his leash probably got shorter after that outing, even though it wasn't for a lack of hustle.
Could have gone w/Cedi to see if he had his stroke, but LA was going through us w/no recourse from the refs.
Stevens has done good things in the past, and buys into his role by and large.

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.
