Lance Stephenson has handles. It’s one of the reasons the Los Angeles Clippers went after him, as it allows him to attack the basket to score and distribute the ball to teammates. That combination of ball handling and playmaking was something the Clippers didn’t have last season. However, that’s by no means the case anymore. And more than anyone else on the team, rookie power forward Branden Dawson has first hand experience of exactly what Stephenson can do.
This week, Stephenson went head-to-head with Dawson to see if he could blow by him to the basket.
