I just don't see what he brings to the table. Let me start by staying, I am not judging this from 2 games. I include last year in my assessment. I will add that maybe Stevens is starting to see it, as he was benched in the second half last night and barely played.
So last year he got a bit of a free ride, as he was hurt, but what about this year? He doesn't rebound. He was getting killed on the board to be more exact. He's not a rim protector. He certainly can't shot, especially FT's. I really don't see what he does that make this team any better.
Look, he seems like a nice enough guy, but I can't see how anyone watching can't see that the only way the Celtics compete is to improve that position. At this point it doesn't even have to be a star, just someone who can bang around with other teams bigs, get rebounds and block a few shots.
Just my opinion, but I guess that's what this forum is for.
