So, we too can have players that drive the lane and score while being fouled?
Who'd a thunk it?
Can't wait!

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.

Mr Jeff Adrien.

His game kinda reminds me of Hopkins from PeeCee

Solid comparison.

Might seem random, but one early offer of Stewart's that excites me is Montana. (my wife's alma mater).

In the nine years Travis DeCuire has been the head coach, Montana teams are high IQ, especially on offense. His teams generally move the ball well and are deliberate in taking the best shot available.

Defensively, Montana teams under DeCuire rebound aggressively and defend the perimeter well.

At 6'6 210, I see Stewart as a classic Montana 4: a versatile, physical offensive player who can do a bit of everything and as a defender, one of the team's best rebounders and a versatility to defend smartly.

Denham? Maybe. The shooting (from what we can see in the videos) seems to separate him from most of the athletic 6'6-6'7 guys like Adrien and Freeman.

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.

Martin is a heck of an athlete but he seemed too rigid, not fluid. If that makes sense.
 
There's got to be a label for this:

Something like
"Emoji/Handle...and one!"

Definitely agree. Would make him a great defender and rebounder but caused some limitations offensively. He seems to have been becoming more and more fluid in the NBA though which is good to see.

Think the floor spacing helps him out a lot there too.

I hope he’s more 2/3 than 4. Most undersized 4s in college basketball are built like bulls and/or incredible athletes to make up for the lack of height. It’d be fun offensively I’m sure.

Tough shot making ability!

I know I'm probably being a pedantic twerp, but that wasn't a particularly impressive shot to me. That look will never be a part of our offense unless KO starts coaching again.

His ability to use his handles, footwork and shiftiness to get to the rim, and his size to take a hit from shotblockers and finish is much more impressive to me.

Wow. Where could we get a guy like that to finish out this season and take us to great heights?

Strong handle with his left hand but almost always finishes with his right hand.

I agree, but it's nice to have a player who can do that at the end of shot/game clock if there is nothing else.

You could say this to Melo too. But he got orange a natty.

You took this wrong way. When things are not going your way on a night, you do need someone able to make this ISO or heroic type of shot.

Yain't wrong. It's a nice tough play. I'm just the kind of guy that would prefer to see defense and outlet passes in a highlight video. It's the former coach in me.

The kid can flat out play.

Will be interesting to see what his role in the offense ends up being. Clingan and Karaban had pretty obvious roles coming in because neither are ball dominant.

Stewart is a ball dominant player, and will not be at UConn. Taking more effecient shots is going to be a big change for him. We won't need any of these iso moves from him... we need tight passes, 3s, straight line drives, and 1 dribble pull ups. We'll probably have a few players ahead of him on the depth chart taking last minute iso shots. I wonder if it will make his transition a little rockier than our freshman this year.

I think he'll be an all big east level player by junior year regardless.

He can still be a bit ball dominant, but on the second unit, and a lot less in the midrange. Samson, Ross, and Singare won't need the ball much. Alleyne (if he comes back)/Diarra aren't ball dominant. It'll be him and Ball running the show on that unit most likely.
