Have we heard anything re Jaylin Stewart?

[DRBackup]

why tip your hand?

I mean... nobody is gameplanning for your bench players. Could he help us tonight ? Possibly. But it's quite unlikely that his impact on the game could be so great that Izzo is thinking about it.

The game will be extremely physical. Without Stewie just a war of attrition is a lot more credible of a strategy to throw against us. Just to have his physicality out there setting screens playing defense etc is important.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Stewart being available helps our depth, helps keep AK fresh. I doubt he plays much or at all at the 3, given what Ross has been bringing there. But if AK gets 2 fouls or something, we have better options to weather that.

If he can get AK 5-8 minutes of game rest that would be huge. He's not going to be in shape to play 20min

 

[UConnRock]

With Stewart being out of the rotation so long, at this point is he more than just a safety net if UConn has foul trouble?

 

[Henry]

This is a difficult game to come into when he hasn't played in over a month. But it's good he's available just in case.

Any game this time of year will be tough. Just like everyone else, hope he comes in and makes a shot or two. If that happens, he'll be off to the races.

 

[Umami Zen]

Stewart always levels up to comp. Any productive minutes he can give us will be impactful. Has five fouls to give while giving our starters a short break. Boards/D/dirty work in the paint will help vs Mich St.

 

[REB1094]

Last year he gave solid bench minutes against Oklahoma and Florida and we all remember his BET explosion the year before that

We’ll play AK for as close to 40 minutes as possible and Ross has more than earned all of the backup minutes

But if there’s foul trouble, if we need to give someone a rest, or if we just need a bigger body on the floor to match up..then I feel really good about a hungry Jaylin Stewart helping us

Stewart could be very handy against all of our possible opponents starting with MSU. We will definitely need him for SJU or Duke. All 3 teams have athleticism and size that Stew can help us better handle.

We always have our guy Koroma

He’s actually “m-m-m-MY-Koroma”

 

[Palatine]

If Stewart can knock down a couple of threes (37.7), it would be great.

If Santa came and brought rocket booster Nike's for our starting 5, that would be great too.

 

[CL82]

When you really think about it, aren’t we all actually questionable.

Some more so than others.

 

[Lafayette]

real question is who will Fears kick in the groin tonight?

 

[Palatine]

Stewart is a one of our more consistent three point shooters. He doesn't deserve to be insulted.

just needs to play D and get boards. No shots needed unless it’s a put back.

This take is predictably aging horribly.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Seemed to have a decent time out there, hit a 3 and forced a turnover, but wasn’t kept out there long

3 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds.

Probably minutes restriction was part of the reason he didnt play more. If he can step up a bit next game at least defensively, that will be huge. Duke is going to be a problem.

3 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds.

53 pts per 40
