In Indiana he was a hero, in Charlotte he was a villain. In L.A., 'Born Ready' is on a mission.
Lance Stephenson was one of the best guards in the NBA two years ago. He was the ultimate triple-double threat, handling the ball on offense picking up assists, while being arguably the best rebounding guard in the NBA. Combine that with risky, yet highly effective defense, and you had a guy who was incredibly valuable.
Fast forward a season and Lance's image is a shadow of that. Charlotte's offense featured a ball dominant point guard along with no perimeter shooting, two things that are recipes for disaster with Lance.
