Lance Stephenson is overrated
Stephenson is currently shooting just above 30 percent in his first season with the Charlotte Hornets. He’s a 46 percent career shooter. Something has to give.
And right now, as Andy Livingston (Elevator Doors) points out so eloquently, Stephenson’s teammates aren’t putting him in position to take the shots that he was accustomed to taking with the Pacers during the last couple of seasons. That appears to be the glaring difference right now for Stephenson.
I don’t think he’s overrated, I just think he needs to get back into his comfort zone.
