Versatile Chattanooga forward with glue-guy value
In his Chattanooga years, Lance Stokes stood out more for versatility, defense, and feel than for big scoring totals, posting 3.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in the 2013-14 season and 2.9 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in 2012-13 after a foot injury cut that year short. Coaches described him as a mature, mismatch-friendly forward who could get to the basket and defend, with enough size to slide between the three and four spots. If you want a low-ego, high-IQ connector who can help your lineup function, he fit that bill nicely.
