Former Penn State Basketball standout Lamar Stevens may have gone undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft, but he earned his NBA contract through a relatively impressive rookie campaign.
Stevens’ numbers may look modest (4.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and roughly half a block, steal and assist a game) but again, he went UNDRAFTED.
When the Cleveland Cavaliers signed him to a two-way contract after the NBA draft, it was unlikely he’d ever receive real minutes in the NBA.
