Jaylin Stewart in Portal

Pretty surprised at how ho-hum a lot of you are trying to act when we’ve just lost a three-year veteran and are now down to what- 8 scholarship players? And that’s not counting Mullins at least declaring for the draft?
Stewart and Hurley have honest conversations about roles. Let’s read the room. Ross is back, they got Landrew and there is the Duke kid and Braylon Mullins waiting in the wings. I am sure he has all the information he needs. His role was likely to be a bench role. He is a better player than that on a team. This is his last chance to be a starter in college. We’ll see where he ends up, but he is clearly a starting caliber player in the Big East.
 
Sorry I have two eyes and can watch the games.

He’s not a UConn caliber player. It is what it is. The histrionics over this are crazy to me. It’s also not like he hasn’t had his chances either. He was pushed into big minutes several times due to injury and simply never played well enough to hold onto those minutes.
Do you realize how tough it is to come into a game and try to produce in just 4–5 minutes? And even when he played well in the first half, there were times you wouldn’t see him at all in the second. That’s a hard rhythm to adjust to.
He handled it as well as you could ask, and Hurley even gave him credit for that. This is a guy who can really play if he gets consistent minutes and not just sitting behind someone.
Maybe take another look before judging.

When in my late 20s - something Fishy said po'd me and I made a wise crack at him. I stayed off the boards for a few years realizing don't throw names because their opinion suck ... dont be d0 uche. I deleted that account and made this one to start fresh in 2011! Heyyo! You da man Fish!

Stewart seems like a great kid, but some boneyarders make it out that he is a great player. He had his chances and did not show he could drive to the hoop and score and was an average rebounder. He is a good shooter. I wish him nothing but the best

You might have two eyes, but doesnt mean you evaluated properly. In extended minutes kid has been good. Rugged 3/4 style player. I think he’s a good player and has a decent offensive game. I would expect high major team grabs him. saying he isn’t a UConn caliber player is ridiculous.

Yeah that’s fair, and I think most people would agree he didn’t fully put it all together here. At the same time, it’s tough to judge a guy off limited, inconsistent minutes especially when it’s hard to get into any kind of rhythm.
He definitely showed flashes though, and like you said, the shooting is real. Sometimes a bigger role and more consistent run makes a big difference for a player like him.
Either way, hard not to root for the kid. Hope he lands somewhere he can really show what he’s got.

He's definitely a UConn caliber player.

I can tell because he just spent the past three years playing for UConn.

He's an excellent rotation guy and I would have loved to have had him back, but for whatever reason, perhaps he wanted more of a role than Dan Hurley could offer him.

He's not going to be a superstar at his next stop, but he can definitely help a good team.

stewart is a legitimate D1 ballplayer who never got consistent minutes because of nba players ahead of him ( liam and mullins) . In today’s transactional world he should have left last year to maybe A10 got 28 minutes a night averaged 14-15 then got a decent bag to transfer to a mid to low p5 school. i hope he has a great last year !!
 
Although the numbers on the back of the card weren’t anything either he or us were expecting. But as a teammate and ambassador for the program he was as good as one could be. The outpouring on this thread proves the parents and family have themselves a hell of a young man. Hope he doesn’t just kill it at his next stop but wherever he goes after basketball is finished. Likable is an understatement with JStew.
