We’re expecting to see a more mature Stephenson this season, and that could really translate into a more consistent and productive player. He’ll be the starting two-guard with injury prone Danny Granger out yet again and there’s no guarantee that Granger will get the job back if and when he ever gets healthy.

It’s time to switch gears to those talented youngsters that are mostly unknown factors.

After spending nearly a decade teasing Hawk fans with his immense talent, Smith was allowed to head to Motown as a free agent this summer.

Lots of star power has occupied the two-guard slot over the years, but the position is not currently in a golden age. After the top three, there’s a pretty significant drop and in short order, the position becomes fairly barren.
