Justin Verrier of ESPN recently sat down with Lance Stephenson and got his take on a number of topics including how he ended up with the Pelicans and the role he envisions for himself.
The two bigger takeaways in my book, though, were the New Orleans Pelicans were reportedly interested in Stephenson prior to the team learning Jrue Holiday would miss the start of the upcoming regular season to tend to his wife, Lauren, and that Alvin Gentry appears very willing to hand over the keys to the offense.
