10 Players the Milwaukee Bucks should invite to training camp

Lamar Stevens

This particular writer has been high on Lamar Stevens for many months now.

That infatuation spawned from the 27-year-old's eye-catching build at 6-foot-6, 230 pounds and his defensive motor fueled by said build. At his size, he's always been capable of matching up with bigger wings and forwards. It's an archetype the Bucks have been trying to find for years - see Semi Ojeleye and Jae Crowder - but have had little luck ultimately tracking down.

As they aim to find this particular archetype, inviting Stevens to training camp would help them cast a wide net to find their potential solution.

The big question mark with Stevens has always been his offense. Throughout his four-year career, he has shown little improvement in that regard. In Milwaukee, it's preferred that a player can at least be a serviceable shooter from downtown to space the floor for the Bucks' stars, but Stevens has shot just 28.6 percent from behind the arc for his career. That could be a bit problematic in this system.

Despite his offensive shortcomings, a camp deal wouldn't hurt. Bring Stevens in to see what he has to offer defensively. If he impresses, the organization could keep him in mind if a spot opens up at some point down the line.
