PLAYA VISTA, Calif. – Doc Rivers feels the Clippers received the best player in their trade sending Spencer Hawes and Matt Barnes to Charlotte in exchange for Lance Stephenson.

Rivers said on “The Fred Roggin Show” on The Beast 980 that Stephenson’s addition improves the team and that Stephenson will likely come off the bench with the potential to play a variety of positions.

“I like that he can play multiple positions, really two, three and one, because he’s a terrific passer,” Rivers said. “I look at him really more to be a utility player who can come in and play literally three different positions for us.
