Stephenson’s comparison of himself to Edwards may raise some eyebrows, especially considering their different stages and status in their careers.
While Stephenson boasts an illustrious career with the Pacers, Edwards is seen as one of the upcoming superstars in the NBA.

Edwards is quickly establishing himself as one of the league’s most promising players.
His game is not simply about scoring; he’s also applying finesse to his defensive maneuvers and tactful decision making.
