Erik Stevenson isn’t the same player he was a year ago. The sophomore guard is down 12 pounds, can move around the court more easily, and is playing the game Head Coach Gregg Marshall has been wanting him to play.
Stevenson was recruited to be a shooter. After losing 11 players after the 2017-2018 season, Marshall needed to recruit shooters, and Stevenson was that guy. He broke Michael Porter Jr.’s Washington state tournament record with 118 points, a 29.5 per-game average, as well as the three-pointers made mark at 13.
However, when he arrived at WSU, Stevenson went through growing pains.
