Lance Stephenson is a low-risk, high-reward player, so why isn’t he a Grizzly?

The 2013-2014 season was quite the year for Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson: the versatile University of Cincinnati alumnus led the 56-win squad in assists, rebounds and was third in points scored. He had the basketball world in the palm of his hand.

The former second round pick went on to take his talents down south to the Charlotte Hornets the ensuing season, where his short-lived fame came to an abrupt end and his reputation as a player crumbled. Stephenson averaged only 8.2 points per game in Queen City and his true shooting percentage dropped 14.
