Isaiah Stewart

Draft Notes

Powerful, physical, tough; a few words to describe Isaiah Stewart, who has been rising up the rankings as he’s grown physically and developed his game.

• Has a monster frame with great strength and powerful leaping ability
• A defensive menace who controls the paint with his shot blocking, space-clearing and rebounding ability
• Excels at scoring in close to the basket
• Isn’t afraid to do the dirty work
• Dangerous on the offensive glass
• Isn’t yet a polished offensive player and doesn’t have great range on his jumper
• Isn’t the most vertically explosive guy

Comparisons

• Derrick Favors
• Zach Randolph 
• Elton Brand
• a modern version of Charles Oakley
