Really Overdue 2010 D-League Draft Review
20th: - Tulsa 66ers - Perry Stevenson, Kentucky Before John Calipari got there, Perry Stevenson used to play quite a lot at Kentucky. But when Calipari and his hoards of freshman arrived, Stevenson could barely get a minute. Stevenson's minutes per game progression by year reads 10.0, 24.4, 28.1, then all the way down to 7.6, and it wasn't injuries that caused that decline. However, while Stevenson played only 259 minutes last year, time enough for only 27 shots, he never complained about it. He stuck out his four years through three different head coaches, played well when called upon, and did it nicely. You don't see this often enough.
Stevenson is nonetheless a rather limited player; an athlete, a dunker, a decent rebounder and a very good shotblocker, but very thin, with few ball skills, no jumpshot, and a propensity for turning the ball over. This makes him a solid D-League player, but not ever an NBA calibre one.
