Stevenson has played at three Division I schools. Most recently, the 6-foot-4 guard started every game this past season at South Carolina. He averaged 11.6 points per game playing for head coach Frank Martin, a former assistant for Bob Huggins. Stevenson led the Gamecocks in assists [85], steals [33] and three-point field goals [60]. He also went 61-for-62 from the free throw line.
Prior to arriving at South Carolina, the Lacey, Wash. native played two seasons at Wichita State and one at Washington.
