He won’t fit in well because it looks like he can actually put it on the floor and score!
Seems to draw fouls at a decent clip also, or at least finish through contact.
May be a lot of bully ball next year.

Stewart is the one I’m most excited for next year. And I know that sounds crazy considering Castle is a top 10 recruit, but Stewart is the type of player we haven’t had in a very long time. Stocky 6’6” wing who can score from everywhere and just flat out bully guys with his size. Freak athlete too

Bingo. Other than Caron (who was seemingly more athletic) and some of Tyrese’s game, have we even had another player like Stewart in the last 30 years? I simply can’t recall one.

Isn't that basically what Tyrese Martin was?

Looks like a tough, strong player with size and skills at the wing. Love it!

Yeah…feel like Stewart is a more natural shooter/scorer though.

If we get the "impose your will and body" out of Castle, Ball, and Stewart to the extent that looks possible/probable, then they should make strong year 1/year 2 impacts. Especially in the BE in terms of style of play...
We need to get back to the Calhoun level of impose your will on the opponent. It wins games in the second half that we are now losing.

100%. I don't think Stewart at his ceiling has the athleticism to be as good as Rese, but he also has much better handles, shot creation and strength at the same point in their careers.

Yeah, that's fair, I just feel like "stocky 6'6 wing who can score at all levels and can bully guys physically" is like exactly how I would describe Martin, so it was funny to hear "haven't had this type of player in a while".

They will serve a somewhat similar role. Martin was an amazing rebounder and defender. Stewart is more of a scorer. He can bully guys with the ball in his hands like Hopkins from PC

Need them being able to shoot or opponents will pack the lane to mitigate dribble penetration.

Almost every other BE team has these types of player and they make layups on us at will.

Yeah Martin could shoot the ball well but seemed to have trouble at the rim. Remember thinking he played like a football player with his lack of touch there. Think Stewart can be better all around.
