Lance Stephenson has struggled to get regular minutes in the Lakers rotation

While there were a number of surprise additions to the Lakers roster last summer, none were more eye-opening than the acquisition of Lance Stephenson. Over the last few years, the former Pacers man had become notorious for his on-court clashes with players such as James and Lance linking up with the King in Los Angeles always seemed like a bad fit.

Stephenson has so far managed to avoid any controversy, and he has also performed well, averaging 7.2 points while shooting 38% from beyond the arc. However, the 28-year-old has struggled to find regular opportunities, playing just 15.6 minutes per-game and due to the Lakers falling out of playoff contention, he is unlikely to feature again this season.
