Lance Stephenson is the type of player that may be hurt by the inability for front office executives and coaches to communicate with him during the NBA's lockout.
"It's very hard not being able to talk to those guys," Stephenson said. "I like to keep in contact with everybody so I can show them how hard I'm working to be one of the best players on the team and help the team win."
Stephenson is living in Indianapolis instead of his native New York.
"There are too many temptations to hang out and get off track back at home," said Stephenson. "It's all about basketball while living here."
