Biography
Coach Davey's 2000 Preseason Comments on Stephen: "Stephen has good footwork around the basket. He also has a good shooting touch and can follow-up a break with a high-percentage shot from the perimeter. He is also left-handed, which can be troublesome for his opponents at times. I expect he and David Emslie will give us a nice one-two punch in the post."
