Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4562718, member: 6696"] Stewart is about the same size as Karaban, maybe slightly bigger. Probably about 6'7 or 6'8 and 220. He's stronger than Karaban at the same age and has a bit more baby fat by my eye. A little more athletic than karaban but nothong that will stand out in D1. He's going to be a beast in a couple years physically. Very strong. They are very different players on offense. Stewart has great handles and a ton of moves to create separation to get his shot off. Step backs and side steps are a staple of his game. Plays in the post more in hs, but I expect we'll have him in the perimeter more. Alex made the same transition for us. He's Very adept at taking a hit and finishing if he can get a defender on his hip. He's extremely versatile but not an expert at anything... hence the low shooting % and more TOs than Alex. Karaban is really, really good at a few things and never tries to do too much. He's a much more effecient player, but he isn't a shot creator and is very limited finishing at the rim until he diversifies his footwork. When he learns to drive and finish off 1 foot, and tightens up his footwork on screens to get his 3 off, he's going to averahe 15+ a game. I think he averages 15/6/3 next season. Stewart will be an awesome player for us if he dedicates himself to S&C and learns to nix the iso and play within our offense, but I would expect more learning cirve than we saw with Alex. Playing behind Andre and Alex with be great for him. The staff will be able to put him in different positions to succeed depending on matchups since he's so versatile. [/QUOTE]
