JStew practice highlights

[jibsey]

You know what I liked about that clip? Everything but…..the pump fake was just great.
kid looks like a bigger Ray Allen out there. I would just play him 30 minutes a game and let him develop into a superstar, and if his fg % is good how do we not?
He has all the tools and if his defense is good he has to have that PT.

 

[Waquoit]

JStew had more to give last year, he just had great players ahead of him. By the end of the year, it was seamless when he entered the game. We're gonna be loaded again.

 

[Methalius]

I think the best thing is that there is still 3 or 4 kids that can blossom in year 2, 3 or even 4. I love Ross's game along with Ball and Stewart's game. I can see all three of them developing into big time prospects. Last year's roster was absolutely stacked as we all know, so other than due to Castle's injury there really wasn't much playing time for most of these kids to develop. I think we as a fan base needs to show some patience especially early on in the schedule for these kids to get their confidence and really hone their skills.

I know this is a thread about Stewart but what I saw was Ball giving him the lane way to easy. Ball should have been and is quick enough to beat Stewart to a spot on that drive to the basket instead he stayed on his hip and get taken to the basket.

It was very poor defense. I know it’s a scrimmage and practice but Ball has to stay in front of him in that situation. He is smaller and quicker. Stewart clearly has nba talent. Probably would like to see him 10 lbs lighter but he looks like a top flight player.

Another thing I noticed was a lack of rim protection. Most of those drives would have been sent back to sender if DC was still patrolling the paint.

I am being hyper critical on purpose this team is very talented so the details will be where we separate ourselves from the pack in the BE.

Or maybe JStew is pretty good and getting better. What I’ve seen from highlights is Jaylin hasn’t missed a shot all summer

This is the first video like this to my knowledge, and it's all Jaylin. You can read a lot into that. Hurley quoted as betting big on developing his young players, Jaylin stepping up as a highly skilled and versatile go-to scorer/player on this season's team, with the defensive chops to start and play big minutes. As a wing, athletic and tough, always willing to mix it up inside, scoring and getting rebounds. I'm sure he'll play the 4 too, just like last year.

I would hope it means they’re going to do videos like this for each of the players and Jaylin just happened to be first.

The DCs of the world are not falling off trees. You can only play who’s in front of you.

To Solos defense, Jaylen has significant size on him. That said, the one dribble drive left him knob kneed and staring. Seems to be a theme with Solo. For a kid with amazing physical traits the upstairs hasn’t caught up yet, as seems aloof. Hopefully he grows out of it.

One thing with Stewart, could see an opportunity to put a little more muscle on. He has the frame for it. Could see his post game improving with a little more pack on his frame.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

The social media team is posting a hype video for JStew…do you think they are going to show plays where there was great rim protection and guys sealing off driving lanes, resulting in no highlight?

It’s July 10th…relax and enjoy the hype videos. Come regular season, the defense will be there.

I really thought the JStew highlight package would have featured at least one of his shots getting punched into the bleachers.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Not saying he’s going to be Caron Butler, but that’s my best comp for J Stew play style wise.

Feel like with the more talented guys on the team (Solo and Stew) there may be a little more one on one attacking and playmaking on offense this year.

my guess is he's having a better camp than whatever conclusions BYers can come to from a 45 second hype video for someone else

Indeed. I'd keep this in mind with regards to any notion that Has is going to reprise his role off the bench, too.

 

[temery]

I love to see the sprint to defense after the dunk. Too many players stop to congratulate themselves.

 

[JesusAllen11]

Last year our guard rotation was overwhelming, 2 years ago our center rotation was overwhelming. This year our wing rotation will be overwhelming.

Big on Stewart , I believed in a world with no AK or Liam , we would be fine with Stewart.

 

[3rdbass]

He is my breakout player of the Year. He just has too much talent not to have a great year if he gets the minutes. I wonder if we will see a lineup with him, McNeeley and Karaban in together. Just too much talent not to have them all getting a lot of minutes.

 

[3rdbass]

He reminds me of Jeremy Lamb a little bit.

How? I didn't see too many tear droppers there. I think J-Stew has a better all around offensive game especially if he get his outside shot falling.

Hurley has done a great job not becoming a one-and-done coach. I really hope this continues.

 

[3rdbass]

Who’s more suited to play the 2, stew or Liam? Some People question stews ball handling but I don’t and As you said he has a deep bag off the dribble.

I think if someone plays the 2 with the 3 wings it would be Stew. I think he is the most athletic with the best handle out of the 3 and you see him playing against Ball a lot in those videos.

 

[AllHusky]

I noticed Liam spinning like a top on defense a few times, waving his arms like an albatross as a shot or pass had already been launched, almost like he is a freshman

Yup pretty clueless on my part. It was a commercial and I had no idea until seeing the reaction to my post. Yes my Ralphie drink your ovaltine moment. The laughs were justified. And certainly could not be overlooked by a few of my true Boneyard brothers (sarcasm)……but Solo still needs to learn how to play defense. There were a few other plays giving up baseline and several other positional errors. Other that JStews highlights what stood out on the tape was how bad Solos defense looked.

This feels disrespectful to Lamb, who was a much scorer as a freshman, and scored his way into the lottery as a sophomore. Lamb was a fantastic scorer.

I just don't see a similar game. J Stewart is more physical and bigger and can play more inside than Lamb. Lamb was a better shooter.

Their games aren’t similar but Lamb was the better player. The guy averaged 18 a game on almost 50% shooting as a sophomore. He reached the point as a player where he scored when he wanted to that year.

I just don't see the similarities. One is more of inside physical player who can play defense and one is more of a thin guard who can shoot. I wasn't saying Stewart is better than Lamb. I just think their games are different. I think Stewart will make a big jump this year. Also, to compare Stewart now when he played on a stacked team with Lamb who was the 2nd or 3rd best player and needed to score is not fair at this point of their career.

 

[M.S.G.]

I don't see a comparison between the two games at all whatsoever, outside of the fact they are bursting with potential as sophomores...

 

[AllHusky]

Can't say much about JStew, except he looks great and his potential is very exciting. Feel like we are having a Forrest Gump moment with our roster here, "box of chocolates, never know what is going to come out of it next", except in ths case we know it's going to be a basketball player on a great team!! Go Huskies. Keep those videos coming, satiate the summertime needs of the Yarders.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Stew's footwork is so good. Crafty dribble and a whole bag of moves he can go to get his shot up. Someone mentioned earlier that he now knows how to hunt better shots and I couldn't agree more. His game is going to flourish in a really impressive way. Last season he knew he essentially could not put a foot wrong on the court if he wanted to keep getting opportunities. He had to focus on hustle and effort, hyper focusing on being in all the right spots on both ends of the court for fear of losing the minutes he'd earned; because the team was that good. This season the x's and o's will be much more natural for him and the longer leash will see Jaylin Stewart become an All Conference level contributor with serious first round buzz. !







,..If the roster is somehow good enough to force Hassan into reprising his role as 6th man of the year (Mahaney/Stewart/McNeeley/Karaban/Reed jr) and Tarris can tip Samson for the starting center nod, this team is going to be such a nightmare for any opposition lol. Samson is essentially about to make his Sophmore leap with the maturity of a senior aged player. SJ didn't play as a freshman, was hurt all season after looking like he would be a major piece of the rotation, finally got a full season in as the first or second guy off the bench on the back to back national champions. This is only going to be Samson's 2nd season really playing. Huge leap incoming.

The "hunt better shots" observation is key. Stewart really came in to his own towards the end of last season when the game did the proverbial "slowed down for him". It's both odd and obvious when you can see a player learn how to play at pace and learn when/where/how to use their skill and athleticism to their best advantage.
A patient Stewart is a lethal Stewart.

I agree they aren’t similar. I hear you too, but Lamb was really good. He was one of the best scorers in the country that year.

 

[Waquoit]

Lamb had the defensive play of the 2011 Finals. His block of Shelvin Mack's early jumper messed Butler up all game.

Don’t forget how he took over against SDSU too on both ends to seal the game.

Who’d think a freshman can do something like that in big moments!

Remember what he did to Edey in the title game. He beat him on offense with his explosiveness and speed. If he had not fouled out Edey wouldve gotten absolutely lit up by Samson. He simply could not keep up with him. An improved version of that player is a problem for the rest of the country. If he really is 230 and still moving the way he is in this video we could see a huge leap (pun intended lol) from Samson this upcoming season.

We don't need any single guy to be on every night. In all likelihood it will be a different guy stepping up on each night. Teams with that kind of depth are lethal and very hard to plan against.
