Isaiah Stewart is a big, young center/power forward who was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in the 2020 NBA draft. He attended college at Washington and played there for two years before being drafted.

Stewart has a good shooting touch from outside and can score around the rim as well as hit mid-range shots. He is also strong defensively, averaging 1 block and over 2 steals per game during his rookie season in the NBA D-League with Memphis Hustle this year.

Isaiah Stewart is a young player who has been playing basketball for quite some time. He was born in 1998 and he currently plays for the Detroit Pistons of the NBA. In 2020, Isaiah Stewart was selected to play on Team USA at the FIBA World U17 Cup where they reached the final but lost to Spain.

This tournament proved that he had what it took to be one of the best players in his age group and gave him a lot of experience which will help him as he continues his career. 

As well as playing college ball with Washington, Isaiah also played professionally in Europe before coming over to America and joining the Detroit Pistons last year.

While there is still plenty of development left for this young player, reaching such high levels so early on speaks volumes about his potential both on and off court. 

One thing thatIsaiah Stewart definitely possesses is athleticism - whether shooting or running around - which makes him extremely difficult to guard when attacking from anywhere on the floor; something which could see him become an All-Star very soon if all goes according to plan.

When talking about Isaiah's strengths, it would be hard not mention his shot: despite being only 6'1", Isa can hit shots from anywhere inside 50 yards (almost halfcourt), making himself incredibly dangerous from long range even against taller defenders.

Lastly, while other aspects of Isaiah's game may need further refinement (such as defense), there are few players who have such raw talent when it comes to scoring dunks or laying up baskets under pressure like Isaiah does right now.
