Stephens is a great athlete, an explosive guard who finishes above the rim and plays with great balance. He has multiple Division I football offers, and that’s where his future likely lies, but if he were to pursue basketball he’d have a future there as well. He sees the floor well, can change speeds, and is a gifted passer and finisher at the rim. He averaged 6.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game as a freshman for the Go-Hawks, and following the graduations of their top three scorers, he’ll step into a much bigger role as a sophomore.

It’s still very early in the development of this class, of course, but Stephens looks like one of the best players and athletes in the group. He has good size already for a guard, 6-0 and with long arms, and he’s an explosive athlete who can finish above the rim. He does a nice job utilizing his strength to bully smaller defenders, and he has an explosive burst that bigger defenders can’t keep up with. A talented playmaker who sees the floor well, he passes it really well and sees plays that most of the other kids in his class don’t. He’s a good defender when he’s locked in, combining his length, athleticism, and side-to-side movement to make life difficult.
