Lance Stephenson had a very short stint with the Minnesota Timberwolves this past season. Despite that, he managed to play the 14th most minutes for the team.

Stephenson brought a high level of energy to the Wolves when he played. In the absence of Zach LaVine, he played some quality minutes with his tough on-ball defense and explosive ball-handling.

He could have eventually challenged Brandon Rush to start at shooting guard if he hadn’t injured his ankle.

Due to the ankle injury, the Wolves let him go after he finished two 10 day contracts. This was a mistake. The Wolves should have worked out a longer deal with him. Stephenson is a good talent at the shooting guard position.

Injuries have just suppressed his production.

The Indiana Pacers ended up signing Stephenson after his time with the Wolves. He agreed to a three-year deal with the Pacers worth $12 million.
