Lamar Stevens, the newest addition to the Boston Celtics‘ 2023-24 roster, brings a unique set of strengths to the team. Stevens, a 6-foot-6 wing, shines on the defensive end, thanks in large part to his impressive 6-foot-9 wingspan, strength, and ability to defend perimeter players as they drive to the basket. His defensive versatility will be a valuable asset for Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla. Moreover, Stevens brings a gritty and energetic style of play that is sure to resonate with both the team and its fan base.
However, one area of concern is Stevens’ 3-point shooting, as he has a career average of just 28.1% on 1.1 attempts from beyond the arc. This may not align with Mazzulla’s offensive strategy, but Stevens compensates for it by being an effective rebounder.
