5 Reasons why the Memphis Grizzlies should have kept Lance Stephenson
No. 3: Sparkplug off the bench
Last season, the second unit was one-dimensional: feed Z-Bo.
It’s a strategy that worked out pretty well as he averaged 14.1 points and 8.2 rebounds. However, if he wasn’t going, the bench hurt the team.

Insert Lance Stephenson.
If Lance isn’t going, they could feed Zach. If Zach isn’t going, they could let Lance go to work.
Simple.
They also would’ve worked well off each other as one is a slashing playmaker and the other finishes well in the paint.
A match made in Grizz heaven!
A second unit with Lance, Vince and Zach would’ve been imposing for any opposition. Each player adds a little something different to the team and could be dangerous when they catch fire.
