I hate Utah.

To be fair Stephenson was a heck of a lot better shooter last year, you can't compare the player he is this year to last year because it's night and day.

That's like comparing Bulls Jordan to Wizards Jordan.

Speaking of ignorance, didn't you want to tank last year?

Last year Stephenson shot less than 25% from beyond 4 ft.

I saw a breakdown chart on a Pacers forum this summer before he signed here. Most Indy fans didn't want to keep him. He shot less than 15% between 4-15ft, & took more shot there than 15+ ft. All of his points came from lay ups and free throws. Lance has always been a terrible shooter.

His shot chart on Vorped says differently and they literally log every single shot throughout the season.

Umm I'm horrible at math but how in the sam heck are you getting 15%?

That's also not terrible.... It's average and for a player that creates his own shot (not spotting up and hitting a shot in rhythm), it's actually pretty good.

What's your point? You said Lance was a better shooter than Nick Young, which is laughable and makes you look stupid. Hell, even Gerald Hebderson is a better shooter than Lance. That's freaking pathetic. Lance Stephenson is a terrible shooter. In fact, he's probably got the worst jump shot of any guard in the NBA outside of Rubio & Rondo. He cannot shoot. He's a bum. I'd be willing to bet that MKG is a better shooter than Lance this season. And no, Lance's ability to drive does not make it okay. Just watch the games. Teams leave him open because he cannot shoot and they clog the lane preventing him from effeciently driving and scoring.

Outside the Paint (2013-14; vorped.com)

Young: 40.7% FG (273-671)

Henderson: 37.3% FG (256-687)

Stephenson: 35.3% FG (189-535)

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
