5. Unlimited Future Potential

As has been mentioned earlier in this article, Stephenson possesses an unbelievable amount of potential for the future. The Lakers would be signing a very good starting guard who could help out now and in the future, but they could get a star or even more than just a star in the future if he reaches his full potential. Stephenson is showing major improvements in every single aspect of his game, and Larry Bird has gone on record as saying that Stephenson was the most talented player on the Pacers’ roster as lately as just over a year ago.
