“Stevenson is a long-framed and lean prospect who has a high degree of basketball skill and touch. He continues to show growth in his game and production level. He’s excellent at rebounding down low, pushing the break and finishing in transition with body control and touch. Versatility is his defining skill, as he’s comfortable and effective inside or facing up. His respectful and coachable manner further elevates his potential.”
Paul Biancardi
National Recruiting Director for ESPN
