Would you say that these two players game are similar? It seems to me that both have great athleticism, can dribble down, shoot the mid range jumper, and drive really well. I think that in terms of physical and skills terms, these two players are relatively the same.
Indiana Pacers rookie guard Lance Stephenson was arrested for pushing his girlfriend down a flight of stairs early Sunday morning in his native New York City, according to police.
Police say Stephenson was taken into custody Sunday following a 5 a.m. fight with the woman in Brooklyn.
The woman was treated at a hospital for injuries sustained in a fall down a flight of stairs.
The Pacers, who selected the 6-foot-5 guard out of Cincinnati in the second round of this year's draft, issued a statement Sunday night acknowledging Stephenson's arrest.
"We have been made aware of a situation involving Lance Stephenson early Sunday morning in Brooklyn," Pacers president Larry Bird said in a statement. "We are currently in the process of gathering information and will have further comments as we learn more facts."
Stephenson, 19, has been charged with third-degree assault and is awaiting arraignment, according to the Daily News.

So what do we want to happen from this point forward? Stephenson's due in court October 19th. I'm for keeping him away from the team, lock him in a box if we've got to, and then if he's found guilty cut all ties. No trades, no coddling, just cut him.
idk I'm just too bummed out. I had high expectations for this kid. And to be quite honest I've followed this kid since high school and I thought he was gonna be something good. And regardless, even if he is innocent he will still have a bad reputation. I think I am over-reacting but I am still bummed
One of the things people aren't talking about enough is that this kid is 19, he hasn't played a single game in the NBA. Even if he didn't shove the mother of his child down some stairs and bash her head on a step, he was still hanging out in a project stairwell at 5am after signing an NBA contract. What good could possibly come of that? The guy is clearly stupid and will run into more problems in the future. Get out now.
