Lamar Stevens just finished his third year in the NBA. Despite going undrafted, Stevens has made a nice career with his extreme athleticism and ability as a defensive stopper, despite not quite developing a NBA three point shot to become an everyday ‘3 and D’ player. His career averages are 5.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in just over 16 minutes per game and averaged 55 games per year thus far. Stevens takes his talents to perhaps the greatest coach in his generation, Greg Popovich and the Spurs, who just drafted all generational talent Victor Wembanyama number one overall.

NittanyCentral is his second reporting job following the Men's Basketball program. He co-founded and co-hosts the Shots Gotta Fall - The Penn State Basketball Podcast (the premiere, the best, the only) with Steve Travis.
Smith's most proud moment covering the team was seeing the national No. 9 ranking during Pat Chambers' last year. His most embarrassing moment was spending almost a thousand dollars to travel 2,000 miles in 46 hours to watch the Nittany Lions lose to Temple in the 2011 NCAA Tournament (screw you Juan Fernandez).
