Heading into next season, Lamar Stevens should have a strong case to stick around with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stevens was on a two-way deal to begin last season, but mid-season, he was converted to a standard roster spot via multi-year deal.
His deal from here is non-guaranteed, sure, although I thought he helped his case to a large degree as a versatile defender off the bench. Stevens, who had 4.1 points in 12.5 minutes per contest last season, and hit only 4-of-25 from three in 40 appearances as a rookie, is not going to be a crucial scoring presence in his playing time.
