D.J. Stephens
Stephens has a terrific physical profile for a shooting guard, standing a solid 6'5 tall with a huge 7 foot wingspan, good strength, and record breakingly good leaping ability. Unfortunately, he's not a shooting guard. He's a power forward, and not one of those needs-to-work-on-his-handle-to-convert-to-the-wing-position forwards like Jae Crowder once was, but an actual power forward. He doesn't have much offensive skill on any part of the floor, save for the looks such athleticism affords, yet he clearly guards the interior (2.6 blocks per game) much better than the perimeter. This is fine in college when you're under 200 pounds, but not fine in the NBA. Stephens has an obvious impact any game he plays in with his disruptive athleticism, but it'll take a real optimist to project that as sufficient at the NBA level. I would like to be wrong here.
