Deshawn Stephens will not be the center who will alternate with Ousmane Diop under the boards. Dinamo decided to take other paths and greeted the American recognizing the precious contribution that the former Academy Cagliari (he had been hired five years ago for the A2) brought to the team, well beyond what the figures of 7 points say with 65% of two and 5 rebounds in 19 minutes of use.
Arrived in the championship that started to replace Onuaku, a great talent but little desire to fight for the team, Stephens «entered the race in an extraordinary way, giving everything and putting all his experience, professionalism and ability to improve his teammates at Dinamo's service », as written in the press release that recognizes its importance: «He contributed decisively to the breakthrough in Sassari, defense, ability to roll or short, excellent passer and perfect alter ego of Diop who benefited from it in a decisive way. Always with a smile, always positive, always at the service of his teammates, a fundamental locker room man and adored by his teammates, the more he raised his level and the more his performances rose in value, he played crazy playoffs, in spite of only considering superficial statistics as an objective criterion».
Banco di Sardegna is therefore looking for an American with similar physical and technical characteristics but with greater physical strength.
