Scouting report
Stephen is an elite athlete at the 5-4 position, and in the mould of a Kyle Hines, represents the modern basketball center who makes up for what he lacks in height with extreme mobility, relentless work ethic and defensive versatility. He is an elite finisher at the basket who will routinely shoot around the 60% mark over a season while producing in the 15-point and 10-rebound range. Specializing in powerful finishes above the rim, he is also excellent at outlasting opponents in the air and finishing through contact. He is a major pick and roll threat who can post up and finish jump hooks with either hand. He has alternative finishing options, including a smooth runner off the dribble. Opposition centers need to be prepared to do a lot of stop-start moving when they face Stephen, who runs other bigs off the floor with his quickness over short distances and speed in the open court. A big-time rebounder, he is a physical presence who grabs tough contested boards against players significantly bigger than him and consistently is able to go into other players zones to steal misses.
