Stephenson quite simply hasn’t lived up to the expectations that were st for him when he originally agreed to a deal with Charlotte. He was expected to be a playmaker as well as a third scorer to help support both Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker.
Unfortunately, he has been unable to be the offensive threat that the Hornets were hoping to get by signing him. He has been somewhat of a playmaker and a great rebounder, but they need more scoring in a big way. Stephenson simply hasn’t fit into the system that they run, and it’s time to begin looking into potential trades.
