Isaiah Stewart

Stewart was shut down for the final 21 games of 2022-23 due to a pair of injuries, but he finished with career highs in points (11.3) and minutes (28.3) per game across 50 appearances (47 starts). The 2020 No. 16 overall pick added 8.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks per contest and made a concerted effort to develop a perimeter shot, though he only made 32.7 percent of his career-high 4.1 three-pointers per game and finished with a career-low shooting percentage (44.2). He also attempted a career-high 3.0 three throws per game, so despite spending more time on the perimeter, Stewart was still aggressive and took advantage of his athleticism. Stewart showed enough to remain a focal point in the frontcourt. But while he's probably more effective at center, the Washington product will likely spend most of his minutes at power forward as long as Jalen Duren and James Wiseman are available. Stewart's change in style bodes well for his long-term development, but it may impact his short-term fantasy value. Moving away from the basket reduced his rebounding and field-goal numbers, the two things that he excelled at early in his career, but he has a high upside if he can put everything together. Stewart was relatively healthy in his first two seasons, and his absence at the end of last season was presumably precautionary, so there shouldn't be any concerns about his health moving forward.
