Long, smart frontcourt piece with real two-way grit
Petr Stepanyants brings length, defensive activity, and high-character reliability to Hartford: in the 2016-17 season he played all 32 games, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 28 steals, then earned academic honors and helped Hartford to three straight winning seasons. He’s the kind of forward who helps a roster with toughness, mobility, and glue-guy value rather than empty flash — a better fit for a team that wants disciplined defense, effort, and versatility than one chasing high-usage scoring.
