The improvement of Lance Stephenson

[All Net]

We talk about the improvement of Paul George in Indiana but how about lance?

16.4 points per game
6.2 rebounds per game
4.6 assists per game
47% FG
53% from three

He averaged 8,3 and 3 last year.

Can he keep this up?

[mugiwara]

So shit against the bulls only to hit two big threes to really take control of the game. The Box score would have looked awful but he made a huge impact on the end result of that game.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

He won't keep this up, he's not shooting over 50% from deep with how many he's taking per game so far this season.
First name first name and Lance are carrying this team offensively, although Scola finally showed signs of life against the Bulls and D West hit a lot of jumpers.
If Roy Hibbert stopped being a scrub on offense, this team would be clear cut favorites to win the title.

Also point guard play is an issue.
Imagine if this team dumped Granger for a better facilitator. (George Hill isn't a bad player, but he's more of an undersized SG)
They should make a move for Rondo, that team would be nasty.

what is his contract situation?

would love to reunite him with Shaw in Denver. we really need a good SG and a good perimiter defender

[MetsPackers]

Remember when he was just "that guy who committed the flagrants in the Miami series"? Dude has mad game. The question is will indy be able to keep him when his contract is up

[bagelred]

Paul George - 10th pick overall
Roy Hibbert - 17th pick overall
Lance Stephenson - 40th pick overall

This. Larry Bird is the true GOAT as he excelled in every facet of the game. MJ who?

[jbryan1984]

People were pretty high on him when he was drafted but he never really got to play until Granger went down. I remember hearing Bird didn't really like him and that he pushed his girlfriend down the stairs. IDK, but he looked great in the ECF last year. Indy is in a very, very good place for years to come. If they could get rid of Granger's contract and take that off the books, they can sign more good bench players and probably become the deepest team in the league.

[Levity]

indy will pretty much do anything to keep him. i think they already worked out a way to sign him long term without hitting luxury tax. of course, that would mean letting granger go at season end. but this 5-0 start may be enough reason to let that happen.

They need to package Granger as an expiring to get a serviceable PG.

George Hill is the weakest link on the team by FAR.
