Darling of the playoffs. #40 pick in the 2010 Draft. GREAT Draft for Pacers. Got Paul George too! We got Babbitt if you're keeping score. Is Will Barton our Lance Stephenson?
I loved Stephenson's talent coming out. He should have stayed at least another year in college, he would have been a much higher pick.
I don't think Barton will be as good as Stephenson. Stephenson has always been extremely talented. Didn't his off court troubles contribute to him falling to pick #40?
BTW, pretty crazy Barton and Stephenson are the same height, but Stephenson has 50-60 pounds on Barton.
Probably... he's had that reputation since high school. The guy still finished high in the rankings (#11 on Rivals), but there was a time as a So/Jr where he was in the #1 conversation, but then his stock started to plummet his senior year - http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basket...still-want-Lance-Stephenson-?urn=ncaab,167162 I'm just looking forward to him actually being on the court this time around, so he can back up his LeBron taunts -

People complain that the Pacers have low attendance for a winning team. I look at this as a partial reason why the team failed to reconnect after the Malice in the Palace. With Lance it has always been problems between the ears. Will does not look to have as high of ceiling but a good kid.
