    He didn't duck into a phone booth and emerge as SuperShooter, but DeShawn Stevenson's transformation -- from out-of-control penetrator to dead-eye sharpshooter -- almost has been as improbable as a comic book storyline.
    The Jazz always knew their underage phenom could leap tall buildings in a single bound, but that turned out to be of little use when bigger defenders shut him down like Kryptonite. Without a reliable outside shot -- and a .386 career shooting percentage testifies to its absence -- Stevenson's first three seasons labeled him a kid among men.

    Good article, I've been impressed with Deshawn's scoring this year aswell. It would be a big mistake not to resign him at the end of the season, because he can get better.

    He come out of high school, and he was a risky pick. The Jazz took him in the draft at around 15-20 and up until now, hasn't done much with his minutes.
