So I saw this today about Pierce embarrassing Diamond Stone in practice recently: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/824x231q90/r/923/r3SJ3A.jpg

It links to a pretty good 1-on-1 session (~8 min) that confirms the quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roNilcqTc3k

This article then links to an interview from Clippers.com: http://www.dbknews.com/2016/10/12/diamond-stone-paul-pierce-los-angeles-clippers-training/ and the gist is:

Quote
Pierce has started spending every morning with Stone, going through one-on-one drills, lifting weights and offering tips to mentor the former Terp, according to an article from Clippers.com.

Looks like Paul may genuinely be mentoring the young'n.  Stone was drafted with a lot of talent / upside but questions about his IQ/feel and motor, so it seems Paul is doing a solid out there.

I like Stone. I think he's got some ZBo in him. I'd like to see him pan out.
