If this guy can play, we will have something we haven't had a lot of in the past.
One could throw out some names like Richard, Gant, and Arop. All good contributors.

He's a 5... Really?? That changes everything...
Based on this article I've got to believe our starting 5 will look something like this:
PG. Xavier Bledson (One)
SG. Cooper (One)
SF. Key (One)
PF. Cameron Henry (Three)
C. Stephens (Five)
I think that's what he's going to do... Wild.

"He'll help us stretch the floor for sure. He's getting his athleticism back and he's quick laterally. He's a great communicator defensively so he'll be up to speed there with everyone else," ISU point guard Julian Larry added.
"Now that he's healthy, I think he's better than what he was. He's going to be big for us. He could have helped us last year a lot. He's a good defender, a good passer and shooter. He's got all of the tools," ISU guard Tyreke Key said.
Good words about Stephens. Excited to see him play this season.

It was a good article overall, but yeah…that was the main thing that stuck out to me, too. Stephens as a big???
We now only have three positions: point, wing, and big. I fully expected Stephens to play primarily wing, but him at the 5/big position does give us some interesting flexibility. We have Tucker (and I suppose Hittle, maybe) to play that more traditional 5/big position when the opponent dictates it (i.e. UNI), but if Stephens can handle the position defensively against most other teams it does give us a ton of flexibility offensively.
I probably, too, agree with this starting 5.
Nice to actually talk some basketball. It’s been a while.

It will be interesting to see what, if any, restrictions are in place for his minutes (especially when the first half of conference rolls around). That injury is such a hard one to come back from AND avoid compensation tweaks to other muscles / tendons.
Here is to everyone crossing fingers for him and hopes he's 100%.
