Cleveland Cavaliers: Lamar Stevens’ case will be as situational defender

Last season, I thought Lamar Stevens did a nice job for the Cleveland Cavaliers when he was given opportunities, and although injuries played into it, he was a pleasant surprise.

Stevens, who was previously signed to a two-way deal last offseason following him going undrafted, didn’t light up the traditional box score for Cleveland. In 40 appearances, he had 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per outing.

Also, although he wasn’t much of one in his four-year collegiate career at Penn State, Stevens was not able to provide much of a three-point shooting threat, as he knocked in only four-of-25 from there, a 16.
