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.
