There is only one player that comes to mind when I think of Stewart: Candace Parker.
They both are 6'4" (or 7")have great length. Terrific shot blocking ability. Can play many positions and is as versitile as any player in their respective world (College to be, Pros).
From Carol Ross, head coach of the
University of Mississippi Ole Miss Rebels on Parker during her 1st year in college ball:
"She's the toughest matchup in the game. On many nights, she's the best guard on the floor, the best post on the floor, the best rebounder on the floor, the best passer on the floor, and, let's not forget, the best scorer on the floor."
Sound familiar? Now from ESPN on Stewart:
"Her length and vertical puts her into a position to play above the rim at both ends of the floor."
"Her jump hook in the middle is almost unstoppable"
And lastly
"There is a fluid and natural appearance to her play that allows her to be effective almost anywhere on the floor. She has a tremendous wingspan and hands that give her complete control of the ball. When she finishes in traffic, her reach becomes overtly apparent by her extension and finish at the rim. She can put it on the floor and has a decent jumper to create her looks from the perimeter. Inside, she can post with a target that keeps the ball away from virtually any defender. At this age, limited physical strength does come into play for her to a degree, but it's nothing that time and the weight room won't take care of. Her agility is impressive and she has the speed to get out with the guards."
In their own respective world of competition, they both dominate (when Parker is healthy) and if Stewart can have a college career (four healthy years please) like Parker had, UConn fans will be very happy. And Parker didn't play WITH a KML, the next ?? (Taurasi/Moore).
