BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Another week, another post about Beef Stew. I'm starting to lose all hope and die suffering a terrible depression knowing 70% of all ESPN leagues out there still have Isaiah Stewart sitting on their shelves... Stewart, as I'm writing this, is coming off his fourth game in a row with at least 8 points, 8 boards, and one dime.
That's just this young man's floor, mind you. Stewie has put up seven double-double performances already in 14 games played. He's fallen short of adding to that tally one by two points, and he's finished four other games two boards shy of reaching 10 rebounds.
The shooting struggles were there to start the year with Stewart hitting shots at a below-46%-clip in three of his first five games, but he's been good to shoot 44%+ in all but one of his last nine games getting all the way back to Oct. 28. Stweart has been able to keep up those percentages on a reasonably low shooting volume but stretching the floor nightly having hit at least one trey in four consecutive games.
Stewart is the only big out there putting up steady three-point bangers. Only 35 players with 140+ MP through Saturday are averaging 1+ 3PM at the PF/C position. Of those 35, Stewart is one of only seven men pairing that three-point scoring prowess with 9+ RPG. No need to mention he's the only player of those rostered in fewer than 79% of all ESPN leagues as I'm typing this thing.
