Stephenson has had a pretty fantastic journey in the NBA. He went from a bench warmer to a legitimate All-Star snub. The Indiana Pacers have two All-Star selections in Paul George and Roy Hibbert, but there is no doubt Stephenson deserved the nod ahead of, say, Joe Johnson. Stephenson’s development has had a huge impact on the Pacers’ success and he is one of the reasons they are on top of the Eastern Conference right now.

Stephenson has recorded four triple-doubles this season, at least two more than anyone else in the league (LeBron James, for the record, has none). He also leads all guards in the whole league in rebounding and all shooting guards in the East in assists per game.
