On the flipside, Isaiah Stewart is very underrated. The guy is one of the youngest players in this draft, but will be NBA ready day one. He plays with an uncanny relentlessness and hustle. He has soft hands and solid post moves. His jumper looks good and he’s a high level free throw shooter. He sets hard picks, hits the glass, and has the tools to defend on the perimeter. Overall he sets the tone with his energy. He is exactly the type of player we are missing.

yes seems like another throwback bruiser/energy type of athlete
not sure about his ability to hit from outside - definitely would be a work in progress on that end.
he's slotted at #29 on tankathon
I think Paul Reed seems more intriguing at #31 though
Hoping for best 3/d Wing prospect at #18 and then Reed at #31
