-Stanfield’s development was on a steady uphill trajectory over the course of the season, serving as an effective primary option in his sophomore year that has made improvements to his motor–especially on the defensive end of the floor. Stanfield got up for big games against other star players or high level teams, improving his defensive instincts over the course of the season to stay down on shot fakes and contest multiple putback opportunities around the rim to close out possessions for his team. His midrange is still his bread and butter but Stanfield is more effectively taking wings off the bounce to earn trips to the FT line or finish above the rim. It’s often difficult to be one of the focal points at the top of the scouting report on a rebuilding team, but Stanfield got progressively better at remaining grounded emotionally to serve as a leader for a scrappy CH group that should improve on their win total next season. Really interested to see his Melo group this spring and summer.
