Note: I wrote this Thursday night through Friday morning before Glenn Robinson got hurt. Clearly, that will affect how things play out. Right now it looks like he’ll only miss two months which is better than expected. I still think my points are valid.
Lance Stephenson has staked his claim as the sixth man of the Indiana Pacers, but he doesn’t deserve it. Kevin Pritchard praised him as stepping into a “Manu Ginobili” role. Pritchard is trying to motive Stephenson to accept his role coming off the bench. But he’s playing a dangerous game with Glenn Robinson and Cory Joseph’s pending free agencies.
