Cavs: Pressure on rim will strengthen case for Lamar Stevens

Last season, Lamar Stevens was able to get a decent chunk of playing time as an undrafted rookie for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was originally signed via two-way deal, and then in mid-season, Stevens was signed to a multi-year contract.

The years from here are non-guaranteed, but the Penn State product looks to have been a nice find by the Cavs, and did provide a defensive lift when given opportunities in Year 1. His strength, positional versatility and motor all led to him making his presence felt on that end of the floor, and I could foresee that showing next season, too.
