He was bad untill Charlotte pissed him off, them he played with a different intensity. He's still not a PF, but I never hated him as a player, he's just not what we're trying him to be. He would be a good 3rd big.


3rd big? That’s way too harsh. He’s a solid role player on a good team. 2nd big is more appropriate

I like Stew a lot because I love players that play hard, but at the moment if we were trying to be a playoff team Stew is likely best suited as a starter only if you had four other really good offensive players. Right now he probably would be best as a first big off the bench. The good news is he is still just 22 and as of this year still on a cheap rookie contract so there is still a good chance he continues to improve.

If we were trying to win this year he is best as a bench big but I wouldn't be surprised to see himself work into an average starter over the next few seasons.

Stewart brings an intensity to the team, that is hard to get. I can see exactly why other teams were calling about him. If he continues playing like he has over first two games, he is way more then an average starter.

2 games is a micro sample size, but he's been awesome so far. The combination of him and Duren are amazing defensively. You add in Ausar and it's insane in the interior.

Man it was fun to watch the past two games. Teams are genuinely struggling against the teams defense. Breath of fresh air.

**** PJ Washington, and if you’re still one of those losers that wanted to get rid of Stew in favor of him, you’re also on the **** list

I'm a big fan of Stew as well. I can see him being a better version of Draymond Green. He's tough, plays hard and he's a solid leader!
Cunningham has to be more of a scorer with the current starters imo.

Last night Cade was picking up fouls way to fast, and it threw his game off. He commented on this himself, but you could really tell last night, he is not in full game shape yet.

I expect him to have a better game tonight.
